Bitcoin continues its battle against bearish pressure as it nears levels around $76,000, looking to possibly establish a new ATH above $76,500.
Bitcoin's Rise to New Levels
Bulls are defending interim support levels to maintain gains and target upper resistance above $77,000. However, trader confidence appears low, which might lead to a pullback in the rally.
Traders Brace for Volatility
Since Bitcoin broke out of its range, market participants have been hopeful for further movement. Many are ready to capture profits at a new ATH, potentially increasing volatility over the weekend. The order book shows significant buy orders near $75,000 and sell orders around $77,000, suggesting preparedness for both bullish and bearish shifts.
Impact of US Election on Prices
Historically, Bitcoin has shown significant price increases following US elections, such as a 100% rise in 2020. If similar patterns hold, Bitcoin's current ascent may just be starting, and the $100K milestone could be achievable soon.
Bitcoin remains within an ascending channel, and despite mixed market signals, bulls could strive to reach new highs in the coming weeks.
