Bitcoin has set a new all-time high above $69,000, recovering excellently from the slight dip that saw it trade just above $66k earlier today.
Bitcoin has continued its fine performance in November by setting a new all-time high above $69k despite dipping below the $66k level earlier today.
The leading cryptocurrency has added more than $3,000 to its value today and hit a new all-time high at $69,044.77. The rally comes after BTC lost some of its value and dropped towards the $66k level earlier today.
The dip saw other leading cryptocurrencies, including Ether and Solana lose some of their values, causing the total cryptocurrency market cap to drop below the $3 trillion mark. However, the market began to pick up a few hours ago, with Bitcoin reclaiming the $68k pivot point.
The rally allowed Bitcoin to surge higher and set a new all-time high above the $69k level. At the time of writing, BTC is down by 0.4% from its all-time high and is trading at $68,352 per coin.
The short and medium-term outlooks for the leading cryptocurrency remain positive. Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin has added 24.86% to its value. Its performance year-to-date has been impressive, increasing by more than 135%.
Several market analysts are still optimistic that Bitcoin could hit six digits before the end of the year. BTC could soon surpass the $70k mark if it continues with its current performance. Surpassing the $70k point could allow the leading cryptocurrency to gain strong support around $65k and enable it to rally higher in the coming days and weeks.
At the time of writing, BTC’s technical indicators are strong. The relative strength index of 70 shows that Bitcoin is close to the overbought region while its MACD line indicates that the cryptocurrency is very bullish at the moment.
The psychological resistance at $70k still remains a challenge for Bitcoin, and successfully topping it could clear the way for further gains over the next few hours and days.
