Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows BTC price gains continuing into Nov. 2.

BTC/USD hit $35,968 on Bitstamp after the daily close — its highest levels since May 2022 and beating last month’s local peak.

Now returning to test the mettle of $35,000 as support, Bitcoin is on the radar of market participants, some of whom are not discounting the possibility of a new BTC price dip.

In his latest update, popular analyst Mark Cullen suggested that $35,000 was the significant line in the sand to defend.

“Now the Bitcoin range has broken, its a little simpler. Either hold and push on up or break down and we likely lose the major $BTC uptrend in the short term,” he wrote on X, referring to the past week’s comparatively sideways trading landscape.

Cullen added that Bitcoin would need to close a 4-hour candle below the $35,000 mark to flip the mood.

“No reason to e bearish until BTC close an H4 back below 35k. A dip back to test is fine & likely a #BTFD opportunity,” he said.BTC/USD annotated chart. Source: Mark Cullen/XTrader: $34,600 now "ideal downside target"

Also eyeing the low-timeframe range is trader and analyst Credible Crypto.

Like Cullen, he predicted a return lower before upside continued, trapping both late longs and shorts in the process and adding to liquidations.There is our breakout

On the day, he placed a zone around $34,600 as an “ideal downside target.”

As Cointelegraph reported, bearish BTC price predictions remained even as Bitcoin reclaimed and held $34,000 over the past week.

$20,000 was a popular choice, this strongly contrasting with the popular bullish consensus level of $40,000, which others say is only a matter of time.

For popular trader Jelle, however, the outlook calls for BTC/USD to go even higher.

Analyzing longer timeframes, Jelle spied a breakout which suggests a target closer to $50,000.This #Bitcoin bullish megaphone pattern has a target of +/- $48,000.

In part of the day’s analysis, he acknowledged that reaching target could take “some time.”

“We"re seeing a strong start to Q4 as expected, but I do expect momentum to slowly fade in about 2-3 weeks,” he reasoned.“The fight to break $48k may take some time — bull market really gets moving after the halving.”BTC/USD annotated chart with halving marked. Source: Jelle/X
