As Bitcoin Bulls Assemble, Will BTC Surpass $30,000 Soon?

• Bitcoin (BTC) closed the week above $28K, marking three consecutive weeks of profitability since mid-September.
• Bitcoin is currently targeting the $28,500 resistance; potential targets include $30,000 and $31,281.

In a week marked by increasing geopolitical tension, Bitcoin (BTC) managed to maintain its stronghold above the $28,000 mark. The oldest cryptocurrency closed the week on October 8th, recording its third consecutive week in profit after briefly dipping below $25,000 on September 12th.

Over the weekend, Bitcoin demonstrated resilience, avoiding major downside volatility. This stability came after a brief retest of the $27,000 mark on October 6th. The unexpected factor that contributed to this rebound was the release of surprising employment data in the United States, which diverged from the Federal Reserve’s policy adjustments. As a result, the $28,000 resistance level became the focal point for traders as they prepared for the new trading week.

Bitcoin Bulls Target $30K

Analyzing historical data, this current trend has led Bitcoin bulls to anticipate a move towards the coveted $30,000 mark in the upcoming week.

Taking a technical analysis approach and looking at the daily time frame, both simple moving averages (SMA) and exponential moving averages (EMA) suggest a generally positive trend in the short to medium term.

This indicates that if the bulls can sustain their momentum as predicted, Bitcoin’s price may encounter initial resistance around the $28,500 range. However, if this resistance is overcome, Bitcoin could quickly reclaim $30,000 and potentially even push higher to $31,281.

On the flip side, if bears manage to reverse the current trend, they could face significant support at the $26,700 mark. Failure to hold this support level may trigger a more substantial downward movement, potentially targeting $25,174.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin traded at $27,887 and has witnessed a substantial 8.5% surge in its daily trading volume. Although the BTC price experienced a slight 0.20% dip in the past 24 hours. Nevertheless, Bitcoin remains up by approximately 7.7% over the course of the last month.
