Bitcoin (BTC) continued to trade above the $30,000 mark on Thursday, as crypto markets remained buoyed by the latest U.S. inflation report, which fell to 5%.
Following a $29,725.57 low on Wednesday, BTC/USD rose to an intraday peak of $30,462.48 earlier in the day.
This move sees bitcoin remain near a ten-month high of $30,584, which it hit during Tuesday’s trading session. BTC/USD – Daily Chart

At the time of writing, the index is now tracking at 69.73, with the next visible point of resistance at 71.50.
Should the index move beyond this point, there is a good chance that ethereum will move past $30,500. Ethereum
