Bitcoin price reached at $33,365 in Asia on Monday, after soaring to $34,800 on Sunday as the leading cryptocurrency continues its all-time high rally.

After several weeks of trading in narrow ranges, the leading cryptocurrency bitcoin spiked over $10,000 on Sunday for the first time since early June.

The price of bitcoin nears $10,500 after a long time.

Since June, the price of the leading cryptocurrency bitcoin has surged over the $10,000 mark for the first time. In the ongoing economic crisis caused by the global pandemic, bitcoin has emerged as a safe heaven. The leading cryptocurrency bitcoin has come a long way since its inception almost a decade ago. At the time of writing, the price of bitcoin is trading at just below $10,300 mark. The price is expected to near $10,500 in the coming days.

The move in the price came after a rather uneventful weekly close, which witnessed the top-ranked digital asset on CoinMarketCap close above an important multi-year descending trendline. A few hours after the end, Bitcoin price found renewed strength and surged above the $10,100 resistance zone.
