Bitcoin tested the range lows on 17 August and broke above the lower timeframe range high by 19 August, a gain of 11.7 percent across three sessions and the largest three-day advance recorded in BTC in more than a year to reach $70,089 at the end of that streak and the follow through on the breakout helped price reach $81,300 as our latest high for this uptick on 25 August.
