Bitcoin has recorded an unbroken streak of daily gains.

According to market data, the cryptocurrency has recorded its eighth consecutive green daily candle.

An eight-day streak 

The streak began with a powerful engulfing candle (Day 1) that pushed the price out of the mid-$60,000 range.

The streak culminated in explosive momentum on Days 7 and 8, with large, full-bodied green candles driving the price past the $72,000 and $74,000 resistance thresholds. 

As of the eighth day, Bitcoin is trading comfortably above $74,600.

What is most striking about this specific sequence is the lack of significant lower wicks on the daily candles. 

The market is barely allowing for intraday pullbacks, meaning buyers are aggressively stepping in at the daily open.

In late 2025, Bitcoin experienced a catastrophic drawdown, plummeting from highs near the $120,000 mark down to a brutal floor near $60,000 by February 2026.

The recent eight-day green streak marks the first time since that massive drop that the bulls have demonstrated sustained control. 

However, it remains to be seen whether this momentum will continue. After peaking at $76,000, reaching the highest level in weeks, the top cryptocurrency has now dipped back below $74,000.

The cryptocurrency market started on a high note in 2026. However, in late February, Kevin Warsh was nominated for Federal Reserve Chairman. Markets viewed Warsh as the hawkish alternative. "Higher for longer" rates will hurt risk assets. Major mining companies (like Riot and IREN) faced a cash crunch. They aggressively sold their Bitcoin reserves to fund expensive operational pivots. Billions of dollars flowed out of Spot Bitcoin ETFs. For now, the bulls still have a lot of work to do to regain ground.
