Bitcoin is back above the $8,500 barrier signaling a potential further advance.
On Jan. 19, Bitcoin reached a yearly high of $9,170.
The flagship cryptocurrency pulled back 10 percent to hit a low of $8,250 on Jan. 24.
As a result, Bitcoin bounced off this price hurdle gaining over 3 percent of the value it had lost.
The recent upswing allowed Bitcoin to break above the 100-four-hour moving average, based on the 4-hour chart.
A further increase in the buying pressure behind the pioneer cryptocurrency could result in a retest of the 50-four-hour moving average that sits at $8,670.
This technical formation signals a price reversal from bearish to bullish, but Bitcoin could still make a lower low before breaking out of this pattern.
Closing below the 128-four-hour moving average could signal a steeper decline to the 200-four-hour moving average.
According to IntoTheBlock, over 63 percent of all Bitcoin addresses hold BTC for more than a year.
Although Bitcoin could certainly pull back from the current price levels, several technical indicators estimate that it could have entered a new bull run, from a long-term perspective.
