CoinDCX Research Team noted, “Bitcoin’s price experienced a significant bullish push during the past trading day, elevating levels above $68,300. The price attempted to breach $68,400 multiple times but failed, as the shorts liquidity pool accumulates around $68,600, suggesting a potential short squeeze could occur soon.”
“After multiple failed attempts, the resistance appears to be weakening, indicating that a breakout from the broadening wedge to the upside could elevate the price closer to $90,000,” they added.The volume of all stablecoins is now $73.14 billion, which is 90.78% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume, as per data available on CoinMarketCap.In the last 24 hours, the market cap of Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency, rose to $1.332 trillion.

“Bitcoin is eyeing $67,500 after a prolonged 220-day downtrend, indicating a rebuilding of investor confidence. The Fear and Greed Index remains steady at 71 in the ‘Greed’ zone. With the upcoming U.S. election just 20 days away, this will likely be a significant driver for the next bull run,” said Avinash Shekhar, Co-Founder and CEO of Pi42.
