By CCN Markets: Since achieving a new 2019 high at above $9,000 at most major crypto exchanges, the bitcoin price has dropped to around $7,900 by more than 12 percent against the U.S. dollar.

While many technical analysts have warned against the strong possibility of a pullback occurring in the near-term, which remains probable considering the 110 percent year-to-date gain of the dominant crypto asset, one trader says bitcoin is much more bullish than it currently seems.
Why bitcoin is bullish on a macro level
From April to June, the bitcoin price has surged from $4,100 to $9,000 by well over two-fold within a two-month span.
Subsequent to such an abrupt upside movement, a pullback is typically expected given the historical performance of bitcoin.
Throughout the past five years, the bitcoin price has tended to pullback by 30 to 40 percent on average after seeing extended rallies supplemented with strong momentum and volume.
