Bitcoin (BTC) tested $65,000 as support as U.S. markets opened Nov. 15 as a weekend surge ended in retracement.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD giving back a chunk of its overnight gains having hit local highs above $66,000.
In a move away from recent patterns, the pair failed to rally further into the start of trading on Wall St., instead eyeing April’s old all-time high.
For Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe, it was higher levels that were more important in order to preserve overall bullish momentum in the short term.
“Still looking at a potential rising wedge structure here,” he summarized alongside an annotated chart.
“Clear bullish breaker if Bitcoin breaks above $66.4-66.8K.”
Elsewhere, attention focused on indicators hinting that there could be much more room for price growth before classic cycle top signals appear.
Highlighting spent output profit ratio (SOPR), Philip Swift, creator of data resource Look Into Bitcoin, contrasted the state of the current market with the “overheated” atmosphere of early 2021.
“These on-chain daily p/l levels are so low. Yesterday was close to negative again. We are far from the overheated levels that you see on left-hand side of chart,” he commented.
“With funding pretty flat too, probably not much longer before we start meaningfully trending up again.”
SOPR takes a look at the price at which coins moved over a particular time period, and is useful in determining investor behavior at different parts of Bitcoin’s price cycles.
Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL) and Polkadot (DOT) were the leading major altcoins on the day, meanwhile, standing out from flat progress on other tokens.
