Bitcoin

Bitcoin, BTC to USD, fell by 1.07% in the week ending 24^th October. Following a 12.48% rally from the week prior, Bitcoin ended the week at $60,847.0.

A mixed start to the week saw Bitcoin fall to a Monday low $59,883.0 before making a move.

Bitcoin broke through the first major resistance level at $64,990 before falling to a Saturday intraweek low $59,755.0.

Continuing to steer clear of the first major support level at $55,928, Bitcoin revisited $61,000 levels before falling back into the red.

4 days in the green that included a 3.66% rally on Tuesday delivered the upside for the week. A 5.76% slide on Thursday limited the upside, however.

For the week ahead

Bitcoin would need to move through the $62,520 pivot to support a run the first major resistance level at $65,285

Support from the broader market would be needed for Bitcoin to break back through to $65,000 levels.

Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and last week’s all-time high $66,958.0 would likely cap any upside.

In the event of an extended breakout, Bitcoin could test resistance at $70,000 before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $69,723.

Failure to move through the $62,520 pivot would bring the first major support level at $58,082 into play.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was up by 1.53% to $61,778.8. A mixed start to the week saw Bitcoin fall to an early Monday low $60,632.0 before rising to a high $62,111.0.
