Bitcoin Bitcoin While some may still be wondering what is Bitcoin, who created Bitcoin, or how does Bitcoin work, one thing is certain: Bitcoin has changed the world.No one can remain indifferent to this revolutionary, decentralized, digital asset nor to its blockchain technology.In fact, we’ve gone a long way ever since a Florida resident Laszlo Hanyecz made BTC’s first official commercial transaction with a real company by trading 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 pizzas at his local Papa John’s.One could now argue that While some may still be wondering what is Bitcoin, who created Bitcoin, or how does Bitcoin work, one thing is certain: Bitcoin has changed the world.No one can remain indifferent to this revolutionary, decentralized, digital asset nor to its blockchain technology.In fact, we’ve gone a long way ever since a Florida resident Laszlo Hanyecz made BTC’s first official commercial transaction with a real company by trading 10,000 Bitcoins for 2 pizzas at his local Papa John’s.One could now argue that Read this Term continues to fall this morning, well and truly breaking the shackles imposed upon it via the Bollinger squeeze.
Let's take a closer look at the BTC/USD chart on the four hour timeframe below (click to expand):
I’ve performed the Fibonacci study from the low of last month, on the 25th of February at 430, to the high of this month on the 4th, at almost 700.
As we can see, there was a squeeze in place from the 12th of March, until pretty much yesterday, marked by the white ellipse,
The 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level has been a huge line of resistance since the 7th of March, with price testing that line on no less than six separate occasions.

In addition, just above 38.2%, we have the 600 price mark.
