This morning, Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) price edged slightly higher, continuing its upward momentum from yesterday and approaching the pivotal $7,500 mark. Currently, the coin is trading at about $7,350 as of 12 PM EDT.

Part of the reason Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) was up today is that Coincheck, a crypto exchange that suffered a high-profile hack back in January, was rumored to be subject of a bid from Japanese online brokerage firm Monex. A purchase of Coincheck by Monex, which owns U.S.-based online brokerage TradeStation, could be considered a significant bullish signal for the cryptocurrency market.

“It’s a massive confidence boost, you now have a regulated public company in Japan buying into a crypto exchange,” said Brian Kelly, CEO of BK Capital Management.

BTC/USD Looking To Break $7,500

At the moment, Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) is on another bullish run that could take the coin above $7,500. This also confirms the bullish reversal that many have predicted. Its support level has been established at $7,200, and it just managed to surpass its resistance of $7,420, so the next critical point is $7,500.

Afterward, a run to $7,800 is needed to confirm that the recent selloff has ended. By looking at the BTC/USD  20-day moving average line, it’s safe to assume that it will stay above $7,400 for a while.
