Bitcoin dropped to nearly $ 57,000
I was tracking Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView BTC / USD data as it reversed its trend towards $ 57,000 after hitting $ 58,540 on Bitstamp.
The moves mimic the first time Bitcoin hit $ 58,000 in February – several consolidation attempts were made, followed by a series of highs in April.
While indicators on the chain show Bitcoin as another beast in the fourth quarter, the sentiment is pretty optimistic this time around.
“Bitcoin is likely to continue this quest for all-time highs,” Cointelegraph contributor Michael van de Poppe tweeted in his latest Twitter update.
“Big waiver of $ 54,000. We strongly suspect retesting at $ 50,000. ”
The consolidation of $ 50,000 in support – albeit for the second time in 2021 – will be a clear sign of market movement as experts prepare for what they expect will be an explosive end to the year.
But a trader and analyst at Rekt Capital had potential cause for concern this week. When minimized, BTC / USD cannot block weekly lights above $ 60,000, and duplicate performance can also lead to a false correction.
That leaves the bulls until Sunday to break the historic watermark, which could still help ahead of Monday’s ETF approval decision.
