Zinger Key Points
  • Bitcoin breaks $65,000, trader Stockmoney Lizards turns bullish citing market bottom, structure change, and macro factors.
  • Crypto trader Jelle compares current Bitcoin pattern to 2023, suggesting potential for big uptrend after reclaiming 200-week EMA.

Bitcoin BTC/USD has broken the $65,000 mark, trading at $65,840 at the time of writing, up 5.4% over the past 24 hours.

What Happened: Crypto trader Stockmoney Lizards has turned bullish, noting that while many are anticipating further lows, they may soon be left behind due to several indicators:

  • Bull Market Bottom: Bitcoin is in a bull market, having experienced a 90% pump in February and March. The price has since cooled down and retraced to the 0.618 Fibonacci Retracement, typically marking the bottom in a bull market.
  • Market Structure Change: There has been a subtle change in market structure, with Bitcoin forming two consecutive higher lows and a double bottom at $59,000 last week.
  • Short-Term Bullish: The daily candle pushed above the point of control, indicating a short-term bullish trend.
  • Macro Factors: The upcoming U.S. elections and further interest rate cuts could contribute to a bullish outlook and change in market structure.

The trader concluded that “Uptober” is still in play.
