Bitcoin price “looks strong” on a weekly basis

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed that BTC price action is coming full circle after hitting a new three-week high of $64,121 from the daily open.

The S&P 500 hit a new all-time high on the back of a jumbo interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve on September 18, along with the Nasdaq 100.

In response, prominent Bitcoin analysts were surprisingly upbeat about the market's prospects.

“Lots of continuation signs here,” writes Trader Roman on X.

Price action appears to be muted as we adjust/create volatility to break 65k resistance. No bear divs or anything of that nature. We should see it move sideways in the next few days.

Affiliate trader Daan Crypto Trades agreed on the significance of the $65,000 mark, while Cointelegraph also reported its status as a liquid magnet.

“The key level is $65K,” he told X's followers.

“This is a significant level in terms of liquidity, and also indicates a breakdown of the market structure. It will make a new high after the high low since the August dump.

“So far, we've only seen low highs every week,” continued the popular X label Creed in part of its latest content.

“Locally, this is the last stand for the bears i.e. if the lows are correct + the last logical place to be close to correct. A $64k+ weekly close, ideally sensitive, suggests a breakout (first in a while) in the market structure.

Coinbase's so-called premium – the difference in the exchange's BTC price – saw a “large negative value” on the day.

“In other words, during the current uptrend, the negative Coinbase premium suggests that there is strong buying pressure on Binance, even though the price of Bitcoin is not declining,” contributor Avocado_onchain wrote in a Quicktake blog post.

“Buying pressure will need to expand beyond the US to see a significant increase in Bitcoin prices, driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) in global markets.”

The post concluded that the trend was “overwhelmingly positive”.
