BTC Price Forecast: Road to $35,000 

Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading at $29,500. Multiple attempts at the $30,000 level in the last 24 hours days appear to have weakened the resistance marginally. Hence BTC looks in prime position to push further toward $35,000.

In the daily time frame technical analysis, the Parabolic Stop and Reverse indicator also confirms this narrative.  

 The Parabolic SAR (Stop and Reverse) identifies potential reversal points in an ongoing market trend. The Parabolic SAR indicator dots for October 20 points toward $26,800 which is well below the current BTC price of $29,680. This alignment suggests a growing bullish trend.

Hence, a decisive breakout above the initial resistance at $30,380 could accelerate the rally further toward $35,000. However, the next significant resistance at $31,565 could pose a challenge. 

On the downside, the $26,600 territory remains support level to beat.
