Bitcoin Breaks $70K: Will Bulls Hold the $2 Trillion Market Cap as November’s 46% Surge Beckons?
The post Bitcoin Breaks $70K: Will Bulls Hold the $2 Trillion Market Cap as November’s 46% Surge Beckons? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitcoin is currently trading above $70,000, and analysts believe a major breakout is imminent. The bulls are poised to take control of the market, continuing a trend that has been predicted over the past several weeks. Recent price movements have been largely influenced by a short squeeze, hinting at a strong buying activity.
Understanding the Short Squeeze
On Crypto Banter’s Kyle Doops Trading Show, the analyst said that yesterday’s market dynamics showed that $178.6 million worth of short positions were liquidated. This means many traders who bet against Bitcoin had to buy back into the asset, which adds upward pressure on the price. The key question now is whether the bulls can maintain this momentum or if there will be a temporary pullback before a breakout.
Key Levels to Watch
$2 Trillion Market Cap
Analysts believe it’s crucial for bulls to defend the $2 trillion market cap. This level serves as an order block, typically leading to significant price movements. If the market can hold above this level, it may pave the way for a surge towards $2.5 to $2.7 trillion.
Upcoming Trends
As we look forward to the end of the month, the analyst warned that volatility is possible. However, he remains optimistic that if Bitcoin closes strongly, November could bring major breakout opportunities. There is also potential for a cup and handle formation that could drive prices close to $110,000.
Monthly Performance Review
Bitcoin’s performance in October has been somewhat lackluster, with only a 7% gain so far, compared to an average of 22% for the month historically. However, this could change rapidly in the last days of October as bulls try to make a comeback.
Future Predictions
November is historically a bullish month, with an average increase of 46.81%. This, coupled with Ethereum’s strong performance typically seen in the first quarter, sets up a favorable environment for altcoins as well.
Market Sentiment: Fear and Greed Index
The fear and greed index currently sits at 72, meaning that the market is in a greedy phase. This sentiment can stay for extended periods, leading to price advancements. Historical data shows that when the index is in this range, prices can rally substantially.
