Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed newly resurgent BTC price action, which hit $69,328 on Bitstamp.


Up nearly 5% from the day’s low, Bitcoin impressed market observers, who saw bulls redressing a chart “inefficiency” after recent downside.


“Indeed breaking higher and filling that inefficiency in rapid fashion,” popular trader Daan Crypto Trades wrote in part of ongoing coverage on X.“Solid spot bid & Spot premium as well.”BTC/USD chart. Source: Daan Crypto Trades/X


Fellow trader Skew, among others, also noted that the rally was coming from spot market buying instead of derivatives.


“So far clear spot driven price action,” he told X followers.“Spot CVDs trailing price (spot bid). Spot Premium (spot trading above perps).”


Skew noted that momentum needed to continue for “more than just a few hours” to effect lasting change.

As Cointelegraph reported, a reset in on-chain metrics had precluded Bitcoin’s return to form.

Significance resistance remained, however, with $69,000 — the site of the old BTC/USD all-time high from late 2021 — still a key price focus.


Noting the impressive support provided by the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA) on four-hour timeframes, popular trader and analyst Josh Rager demanded higher levels still.


“Needs to close higher above $71k again,” he concluded in part of an X post.BTC/USDT order book data for Binance. Source: Skew/X


Alongside a chart of BTC/USDT order book data on the largest global exchange, Binance, Skew described the $69,000 mark as “important."


“Dips from here will be important to see the level of limit buying to gauge actual demand for higher prices,” he explained.
