In recent months, the market has grown accustomed to ending the week with losses that would run through till the end of the weekend. Now, it seems the market is ready to break this trend, and it has chosen the last weekend of the year to do so.
The surprise flash hike also comes hours before the world crosses over to 2019, a year that many are optimistic about in terms of crypto prices soaring. This price surge plays right into their hands and acts as a launching pad for more gains to come.

At the time of press, bitcoin is up by 7% and is going for $3,940 and relentless as they are, the bulls are still pushing to break past $3,950 and possibly hit the $4,000 mark.
Yesterday’s surge, which has extended to today, has seen bitcoin avoid a retest of the $3,500 position. The price hike now ensures that this position becomes its short-term support level.
