Bitcoin (BTC) is likely to rise around the upcoming Lunar New Year, according to analysis.

On the 24th, cryptocurrency service provider Matrixport released a research report stating, "Bitcoin has risen 11 out of the last 12 Chinese New Year periods," and "the Chinese New Year starts on the 29th, and a positive price trend could continue for 20 days thereafter."

The report analyzed, "Bitcoin reached oversold levels on a daily basis last week, indicating a potential rebound," but also noted, "it remains in the overbought territory on a weekly basis. Various indicators are conflicting, creating a complex situation." The report added that there is still optimism that U.S. President Donald Trump will pursue crypto-friendly policies.

It continued, "The issuance of stablecoins has stagnated since last month, and the inflow of funds into Bitcoin has slowed," adding, "Bitcoin remains in a consolidation phase (forming a box range)."
