On November 30, the Bitcoin price prediction was bullish as BTC crossed the triple-top resistance level of $16,680. Bitcoin (BTC) has extended its previous rally and has reached an intra-day high above the $17,000 mark.

Upbeat Crypto Market

The global cryptocurrency market has performed surprisingly well this week, despite the down general mood in the global markets. Some have attributed its rise to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech.

In addition, other well-known cryptocurrencies such as Dogecoin (DOGE), Ripple (XRP), and Litecoin (LTC) have also seen gains. The Fantom (FTM) token ended up being the biggest gainer, with a 24-hour increase of more than 9.50%. As a result, the bullish crypto market was viewed as a key factor in keeping BTC prices higher.

Genesis is Attempting to Avoid Bankruptcy

Genesis, a cryptocurrency brokerage platform in the United States, announced on Wednesday that it was attempting to avoid bankruptcy, following a report on Tuesday by Bloomberg News that the company’s creditors were banding together with restructuring attorneys to avoid insolvency.

Genesis halted redemptions shortly after FTX’s collapse, revealing a $175 million exposure to the firm.

Bearish US Dollar Underpins Crypto

Another important factor supporting Bitcoin prices is the weakening of the US dollar, which fell from a one-week high on Wednesday ahead of a speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

The US dollar index, which measures how the dollar performs against six major currencies, fell 0.22% to 106.64 after reaching a high of 106.90 overnight.

Powell will speak about the state of the economy and labor market at the Brookings Institution in Washington at 18:30 GMT.

According to financial markets, the Federal Reserve will only raise interest rates by 50-basis points on December 14, with a 36.5% chance that rates will rise by another 75 basis points. 

Bitcoin Price

The current Bitcoin price is $16,878 and the 24-hour trading volume is $24 billion. During the last 24 hours, the BTC/USD pair has surged over 2.25%.

During the European session, the BTC/USD is trading bullish after breaking above a major double top resistance level at $16,600. A breakout above this level exposes BTC’s price to the next resistance level of $17,250.

On the downside, support remains around $16,650, a double-bottom resistance level now acting as a support. The RSI and MACD indicators are still in the buy zone, indicating that the uptrend still has some way to go before retracing.
