Bitcoin (BTC/USD) rallied to highs of $21,321 on Coinbase early Saturday as bulls pushed on from the breakout above the $20,000 mark. It was the first time since the brutal dump in November following the collapse of FTX that Bitcoin price had posted such gains.

The flagship cryptocurrency has registered seven consecutive green candles on the daily chart, starting with the break above $17,000 on Sunday, 8 January 2023.

Pseudonymous crypto trader Mags says Bitcoin has recovered all the losses recorded during the FTX dump, and a best case scenario for the benchmark crypto would be for BTC to continue to $25,000 without revisiting $18,700. The analyst tweeted:

“$BTC is back inside the previous range & is very close to the mid-range range ($21.5k), price has also engulfed the entire FTX dump. Best case scenario would be a continuation till $25k without re-testing $18.7k.”

Scott Melker aka The Wolf of All Streets, also points to Bitcoin’s breakout above $20,000 as likely to see the BTC price test resistance zones around $22,800 and then $25,000. The crypto trader and analyst shared the chart below on Twitter.
