Bitcoin price dips are being ‘bought up strongly,’ but a $50K close remains key

Analysts identify the key levels BTC needs to hold in order to see continuation above $50,000.

Bulls flexed their muscles on Oct. 4 and proof of this came as Bitcoin’s (BTC) price rallied within $500 of the $50,000 mark. This move toward the key psychological resistance helped to pull the Crypto Fear & Greed Index out of the "fear" zone and into the "neutral' state on Oct. 4.

The price action for the top crypto has seen increased volatility in recent weeks as countries like China have increased their crackdown on cryptocurrencies, a move which former United States Central Intelligence Agency agent Edward Snowden says has “just made Bitcoin stronger.”

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after an early morning attack by bears, which pushed BTC to a low of 46,863, bulls arrived with reinforcements and lifted the price back above the $49,200 support/resistance (S/R) zone where they now battle for control.

Here’s a look at how traders and analysts think about the current price action and what could happen next as the BTC price approaches $50,000.

$48,700 is a major resistance level

Traders showed an eagerness to buy up the most recent dip in BTC price, according to crypto analyst and pseudonymous Twitter user Rekt Capital, who posted the following chart, showing that BTC’s “recent dip was bought up strongly.”

The analyst was quick to point out that the price is still “wrestling with this red resistance area at $48,700,” and needs to see it flipped to support if the bulls hope to push the price higher.

Rekt Capital said:

“This is the area that needs to flip to support for a revisit of $50,000+”

BTC needs to hold a daily close above $50,000

The importance of a close above $50,000 was also stressed by options trader and pseudonymous Twitter user John Wick, who posted the following tweet emphasizing that Bitcoin price needs to close and hold above the psychologically important level in the short term. 

The analyst pointed out that October has historically been a “great month for Bitcoin to climb higher” and indicated that the current environment and technical signals suggest that BTC has the potential to establish a new all-time high in the next four weeks if it can clear the $50,000 hurdle.

“Looking for longs as close to range low as possible. Target range high and daily supply ~ 55k ish.”

Buyers continue to scoop up Bitcoin and altcoins on dips, a signal that there is strong demand at lower levels and that bullish momentum is building. Bitcoin ( BTC ) is leading the recovery in the crypto sector and the cryptocurrency briefly rallied to $48,429 on Sept. 15, before pulling back to test the underlying support levels. While speaking during a live stream at the SALT conference, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood said that Bitcoin is the default currency of the crypto space and could rise tenfold in the next five years .
