Bitcoin price is pushing hard to maintain above $24,000, after a sustained rally to pre-FTX fallout levels.
Along the way, each bounce in price action has begun to take on a parabolic shape, which could keep the top cryptocurrencies climbing much higher.
All About Parabolic Price Rallies
Bitcoin became a household name after a parabolic rally to $20,000 back in 2017. The top cryptocurrency has yet to have as dramatic of an uptrend since then, and instead opted for smaller parabola-driven surges.
Upward curving support trend lines are a characteristic of a parabolic rally, highlighted by dip-buying behavior that drives prices higher and higher. Pullbacks are quickly bought up and only when price moves far away from the curve does a correction back to it occur.
There is no denying this has been the behavior in the market in recent days, which has possibly begun to build yet another a parabolic base.
