Bitcoin price blasted above $28,000 for the first time since August as investors embraced news surrounding Ethereum futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs) approvals. The largest cryptocurrency sustained the bullish outlook from Friday, ignoring the US Securities and Exchange\u2019s (SEC) decision to delay its verdict on several spot Bitcoin ETFs.<\/p>\n
Several seller congestion areas threatened the uptrend, including $27,000, $27,500, and $28,000 but\u00a0BTC continues to uphold the bullish outlook<\/a>\u00a0bolstered by growing interest among large volume holders, also called whales.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bitcoin Whales Increase Exposure to BTC<\/p>\n According to the latest\u00a0on-chain insights from Santiment<\/a>, whales have been increasing their Bitcoin holdings as the technical structure improves. Addresses with between 10 and 10,000 BTC have accumulated a combined $1.17 billion since September 1.<\/p>\n If this interest in Bitcoin continues, a return to $30,000 is highly likely. However, these gains could also hamper the uptrend if the same whales start dumping to book early profits.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bitcoin price upholds support at $28,000 while trading at $28,300. A break and hold above the immediate resistance at $28,400 are required to keep traders interested in keeping their long positions open while gazing upon a potential breakout above $30,000.<\/p>\n The SuperTrend indicator on the four-hour chart shows that buyers are holding the reins, hence\u00a0Bitcoin has a higher chance of closing in on $30,000<\/a>\u00a0than dropping to $25,000. This indicator sends a bullish signal when it flips to trail BTC price, which changes the color from red to green.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to crypto trader and analyst Rekt Capital \u201cBitcoin needs to rally higher & break its Lower High to completely invalidate this Bearish Bitcoin Fractal.\u201d As discussed recently,\u00a0a fractal is a pattern that allows Bitcoin price<\/a>\u00a0to climb to a certain level, before retracing and climbing again.<\/p>\n This pattern forms both a bullish and bearish fractal, where a bearish fractal hints at a reversal as shown on the chart below. Therefore, for Bitcoin price to invalidate the bearish fractal, it must break above resistance at $28,400.<\/p>\n #BTC<\/a> <\/p>\n Bitcoin needs to rally higher & break its Lower High to completely invalidate this Bearish Bitcoin Fractal$BTC<\/a> #Crypto<\/a> #bitcoin<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/OaqFdI1RWj<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Rekt Capital (@rektcapital) October 2, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n It is worth mentioning that\u00a0Bitcoin has also broken above three bull market indicators<\/a>, including the 21-week Exponential Moving Average (EMA) (red), the 100-week EMA (blue), and the 200-week EMA (purple).<\/p>\n According to Rekt Capital, a bull run is likely to stem from trading above the three moving averages.<\/p>\n #BTC<\/a> <\/p>\n Bitcoin has broken beyond the Bull Market Support Band cluster of moving averages$BTC<\/a> #Crypto<\/a> #Bitcoin<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/EqwrSSCKKc<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Rekt Capital (@rektcapital) October 2, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is about to send a buy signal on the weekly chart. As the blue MACD line crosses above the red signal more traders and investors would be willing to buy BTC thus creating the necessary momentum for a breakout above $30,000 and eventually aligning with the bull run.<\/p>\n With the halving expected in April 2024 and a spot Bitcoin ETF approval on the horizon, selling pressure may be greatly reduced because investors are likely to overlook short-term profits in favor of waiting for bigger gains in the bull run.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2713 Share:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <!– <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Bitcoin](\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bitcoin-whale-addresses.jpg\")
