Bitcoin Reaches $66,000: Confidence for a New Record High
The Bitcoin (BTC) price rose to $66,000 on Monday afternoon, reaching a new monthly high.
Although these gains remain modest compared to the traditional October results, market participants are beginning to show optimism.
With Bitcoin now in a consolidation phase for almost eight months, the possibility of a return to all-time highs appears to be a gradual process. The analyst “Rekt Capital” recently pointed out that the daily high reached in August around $64,300 represents an important hurdle for the uptrend. In his view, resistance at this level will weaken over time.
The analyst also noted that there is a “distinct chance” that Bitcoin will break through the August resistance and reach the next target of $67,000, which is the upper limit of the downtrend channel formed since March.
