In the early hours of Wednesday, the pioneer crypto asset was trading at $40,250, up 10.24% on the day. A percentage gain of this magnitude hasn’t been seen since June 9.

The price of the flagship crypto-asset found support above the $36,250 mark after a downside correction. After a base was formed, Bitcoin bulls began a new upward trend.
It was evident that the $38,000 and $38,500 resistance levels had been broken.

Decent support is the price band of $39,250 on the downside. The next key support is near $38,500, below which the price could test $37,800.
