As reported on October 11 by CoinDesk, market analyst Omkar Godbole emphasizes that Bitcoin must successfully breach and hold the $69,000 mark to indicate a significant bullish breakout from its current trading range. Such a breakout would suggest a potential revival of the upward momentum following the lows observed in October 2023, with traders eyeing the ambitious $100,000 target suggested by options market dynamics.
This consolidation phase may signify either a period of accumulation where investors steadily acquire assets without exerting significant upward pressure on prices, or a distribution phase, characterized by methodical sales. Historical trends indicate that this scenario often paves the way for heightened volatility.
Furthermore, Bitcoin is transitioning from the traditionally weak months of August and September, during which investor activity is subdued, into the seasonally favorable month of October. Evidence from CoinDesk suggests that substantial gains typically manifest in the latter half of October, particularly after the 16th.
