Bitcoin is back above $30,000, hinting at bullish week ahead

Bitcoin kicked off the week in a great posture, jumping by more than 5.20% since Monday's open. The sudden bullish impulse allowed BTC to slice through the psychological $30,000 resistance barrier to hit a high of $30,980 over the past few hours. Prices have retraced since then, and now the pioneer cryptocurrency currently trades around $30,700.

Bulls must push Bitcoin above $30,750 again and print a four-hour close above this resistance barrier to be able to regain control over the price action. A sustained close above such a vital hurdle could lure sidelined investors to re-enter the market. The potential spike in buying pressure would likely send BTC to test the 200-hour moving average at $32,500 or the Tom DeMark (TD) Sequential's setup trendline at $34,700.

It is worth noting that the TD's risk line at $27,800 can serve as an invalidation point. If Bitcoin were to take a nosedive and dip below this support level, the bullish outlook would be invalidated, and a correction to $22,300 would be imminent.
