Bitcoin Targets a 24-Hour Peak
Based on analytics from Tradingview and Cointelegraph, the bitcoin price on BitStamp is about to hit a new 24-hour peak of $35,850. It has risen by about 5% so far today, quashing fears of another significant correction and giving traders confidence to trade again. Over the weekend, bitcoin rose significantly from the $30,500 price range by about $5,000 to start the new week at an entirely new price range.
Popular crypto analyst and investor Crypto Ed opined that traders no longer need to fear another bloodbath regarding bitcoin’s price movements. He further said, “it is the same group of persons who predicted that bitcoin price would decline to less than $11k last year.” Expert crypto trader, Rekt capital supported Crypto Ed’s argument as he is also convinced that the leading cryptocurrency will maintain its current support levels and might even break out of it before the weekends.
He surmised his opinion saying, “there is a key BTC support level for the week which might stabilize its great price strength. For the seventh successive week, it has stabilized at the $35,000 support levels.”

An analysis of the Binance orderbook proves that bitcoin has stable support at the $31,000 price levels. But the buying interest between that level and the $36,000 price range (which is the spot price) is low. The bears will likely make their move between the $38,000 and $41,000 price levels.

Are We in The Season of the Alts?
However, altcoins are currently outperforming bitcoin gains as they seek to ride on the momentum of bitcoin’s new bullish trend. The top altcoin based on market cap, Ethereum, has risen by almost 10% and trades at about $2,250 as of this writing. If bitcoin continues to make more cautious gain or increase in losses, traders will take it as a possible start for another round of “altseason.”
Crypto expert trader and analyst Scott Melker tweeted that the current market situation is a perfect scenario for the alts.
