According to data from a TradingView chart, the exchange rate of the flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, has exceeded the $14,500 resistance for the first time since January 2018, before it began sliding down into the so-called "crypto winter."

As a reminder, on Oct. 31—Halloween—and on the 12th anniversary of the Bitcoin whitepaper, the BTC rate broke above the $14,000 level for the first time in two years.
Bitcoin has been moving towards the $14,000 mark in a determined manner with no major retracements – on November 4, it was 100 days of BTC holding above the $10,000 level.
