Bitcoin hits highest level of the week as the Nasdaq 100 rebounds
Following on from the previous update noting the surge in the Dow Jones, it is pretty clear that both the Nasdaq 100 and the S+P 500 indexes are higher too. So, the Nasdaq 100, which opened lower today, at 19,182 after closing last night at 19,436, has risen in line with the Dow Jones and reached a session high a moment ago at 19,678. This move has allowed Bitcoin to follow it higher, as you might have guessed from all that has been said about that here. So, BTC has lifted above 87k for the first time this week and for the first time since last Friday. The high seen so far has been set at 87,343 and that means, just like the Dow Jones it has punched back above its 200 day moving average once again. That is still rising and in place right now at 86,275. This is a positive development for sure, but given what might be coming later this evening, no guarantee of further gains either. We shall just have to see how that all unfolds at 8pm GMT. BTC is right now at 87,090
