Crypto traders are riding a wave of excitement as Bitcoin surges past $66K, driven by a strong market sentiment. According to data from Santiment, this rise has sparked enthusiasm across the market, but altcoins are seeing the most significant gains.
Profits rotated from Bitcoin’s recent three-week rally are feeding much of the action in altcoins as traders position for profits. But with growing optimism comes growing risks. According to Santiment, market sentiment has entered a phase of high FOMO, which historically marks the arrival of local price tops.
Whether these peaks happen today, over the weekend, or in the coming weeks largely depends on how whales or large investors react at these price levels. According to Henrik Andersson, this surge of bullish activity is exciting but does not guarantee another buyable bottom of BTC at $50K or $60K unless global economic conditions worsen.
Another popular source, CryptoCon, has added more fuel to the fire, as he believes new BTC ATHs could begin to be reached as early as November 2024. The 2-week Ichimoku Cloud is a very important technical indicator that has marked – when looking into Bitcoin’s previous market cycles – where new highs are likely.
Per CryptoCon’s analysis, a bullish cross after each mid-cycle red cloud in previous cycles marked the beginning of new ATHs. They said the current market trajectory was ahead of previous cycles, which have never seen an ATH before November 28th in Bitcoin’s “Blue Year” cycle. As expected, the message is clear, and eyes stay glued to November for what could be another historic moment for the crypto giant.
Bitcoin Approaches Critical Resistance at $67,000
Despite this optimism, Bitcoin approaches the critical resistance level of around $67,000, which has proved quite stubborn over the last few months. According to analysis, it’s important to note that it is imperative for Bitcoin to break above this level and set a weekly close above it.
While a successful close above the channel top could imply a more sustained upward move, failure to achieve this may trigger a pullback, making the next days very critical for the price trajectory of Bitcoin. History would suggest that this next attempt could be successful, but the market is on edge.
