Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView captured new two-month BTC price highs of $30,233 on Bitstamp.


The pair showed continued strength during the Asia trading session, with a slight comedown taking place at the time of writing, taking the spot price back below $29,500.


With volatility still evident, market participants argued that a weekly candle close was needed in order to establish the rally’s true staying power.


For Keith Alan, co-founder of monitoring resource Material Indicators, the 100-week moving average (MA) at $28,627 was of particular importance.


“This move is one to watch, but what I’m watching for right now is to see if this Weekly candle closes above the 100-Week MA and if next week’s candle can stay above it with no wicks below,” he wrote in part of an X post on the day.“Some might consider that a confirmation of a bull breakout, but this market is known for squeezes and fake outs so I’m looking for more confirmations. For me BTC will also need to take out prior resistance at $30.5k, $31.5k and ultimately $33k to call a bull breakout confirmed and validated.”BTC/USD 1-week chart with 100MA. Source: TradingView

Tracking low-timeframe (LTF) market conditions, meanwhile, fellow trader Skew suggested that a sweep of late longs could result in an entry opportunity prior to upside resuming.


“I suspect longs are starting to fomo in here around $30K,” he told X subscribers alongside a chart of exchange order book data as $30,000 reappeared.“So if this LTF trend breaks a nice sweep could be a nice entry before higher wouldn"t be surprised to see something like this play out.”BTC/USD order book data.

In an optimistic longer-timeframe view, trading team Stockmoney Lizards predicted that resistance immediately above $30,000 would soon crack.

Updating a chart fractal comparing BTC/USD in 2023 to its 2020 breakout, analysts argued that the time for significant upside is now. An approval of the United States’ first Bitcoin spot price exchange-traded fund (ETF) would form the clinching factor.


“31/32k will break soon,” part of accompanying commentary read.“P.S.: Many of you will once more say: ‘But 2020 was after halving, here we are before’ — answer: doesn"t matter. This year mass adoption / ETF approval will be THE driver.”
