The price of Bitcoin saw a much-needed boost on 2 April, wherein it managed to cross $7k. However, due to minimal corrections, the price of the coin soon retracted under $7k. On 3 April, it was valued at $6,918.63, at press time. However, the YTD returns for the coin might turn positive soon with another bullish rally, with the value of its returns at the time of writing found to be -0.01%.

According to Parabolic SAR, Bitcoin was riding a bullish wave as the dotted markers had aligned under the candlesticks, indicating that the price was trending upwards. And now, while Bitcoin awaits its much-anticipated halving in May, the argument concerning whether or not the halving is priced in continues.
