Horus Hughes6 hours agoBitcoin price hits $64K as traders anticipate new all-time high before halvingBitcoin price continues its parabolic rally with a swift move to $64,000. Is a new all-time high the next stop?6627 Total views27 Total sharesListen to article 0:00Market UpdateOwn this piece of crypto historyCollect this article as NFTJoin us on social networksBitcoin price rallied in excess of 10% to a new 2024 high at $64,000 on Feb. 28. The bulk of this month’s 50% price move is being attributed to investors’ anticipation of the upcoming supply halving event, which is typically followed by strong upside price action.


The steady inflows to the recently launched spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are also thought to be playing a critical role in Bitcoin’s price action. JEEZ: Only halfway through trading day and New Nine bitcoin ETFs have already broken their all time daily volume record w/ $2.6b.

Some technical analysts have warned that Bitcoin’s market structure and high funding rates across the market are a sign of heavy leverage use and will eventually lead to a liquidation-driven correction.I read many 200K forecasts. Just to note here that we are now close to resistance area between 65K-68K.

Meanwhile, options analysts are disregarding calls that the price move is overextended, expressing their view that the current Bitcoin price rally has legs.


Citing key Bitcoin’s options markets, open interest and funding rate data, analyst Chris Newhouse said:“From my perspective, the recent rally has aspects of a derivatives driven move combined with an undertone of spot demand off the back of record ETF inflows. Breaking through the $53K region showed relative strength, volumes were high, natural demand was there, and momentum traders had started to pile in to the trade.”

Independent market analyst Nunya Bizniz added to the bullish Bitcoin price perspective, noting that Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI) was above 70 and highlighting the fact that in previous market cycles, BTC price remained in an uptrend for at least 335 days after the RSI pushed through 70.BTC monthly:

Shortly after reaching $64,000, Bitcoin price flash crashed to $58,700, likely the result of a sell wall at this level and a clearing out of late leveraged longs. However, at the time of publishing, BTC had recovered nearly 5% of the downside move. BTC/USDT 1-hour chart. Source: TradingView


Bitcoin is currently less than 13% away from its all-time high, and many retail and institutional investors expect the record $68,900 level to be overtaken before the supply halving, which is scheduled to occur in roughly 52 days.
