Bitcoin (BTC) price surged 7.75% from a recent low of $59,815 on October 3 to a monthly high of $64,448 on October 7, marking an optimistic start to a volatile week.
As you can see in the chart below, Bitcoin briefly fell below the 200-day EMA (yellow line) earlier this month, but an immediate recovery of its position above the indicator allowed the price to move higher over the past four days.

Bitcoin is “locked in higher lows,” says the analyst.
Bitcoin fell 8.8% between September 30 and October 4, reassessing the psychological level of $60,000. Since then, the price has recovered to nearly $64,000 and is now showing a positive monthly return on investment (ROI).
Crypto analyst Jelle believes BTC’s recent recovery confirms a strong bullish pattern. Bitcoin formed a high high (HH) pattern for the first time in five months when it surpassed $65,000 in late September. Confirmation of a higher low (HL) is now key to the uptrend and the analyst believes Bitcoin is now “locked in” after retesting key resistance/support areas.
Meanwhile, another independent analyst, Titan of Crypto, highlighted a historically bullish weekly golden cross for Bitcoin from 2023. The analyst noted:
“BTC’s current price action closely resembles this time last year, with a fake dead cross followed by a golden cross that sparked a 145% rally.”
Bitcoin price is “correlated” with stablecoin market capitalization.
Despite Bitcoin’s recent recovery, it has fallen 2.87% over the past seven days. This may be due to its relationship with stablecoins. IT Tech, a verified on-chain analyst at CryptoQuant, highlighted the key correlation between BTC and stablecoin market caps. The analyst says:
“Increasing market capitalization of stablecoins (USDT and USDC) are often associated with rising Bitcoin prices, suggesting higher market liquidity and demand.”
Meanwhile, a decline in stablecoin supply could mean increased selling pressure and reduced liquidity, which could lead to a price correction in BTC.
Since September 30, USDT net market capitalization has increased by $161 million, which means it has had a positive impact on the Bitcoin price. However, the total USDC market cap change would be negative $654.83 million, resulting in a total stablecoin net change of negative $493 million.
Therefore, an improvement in stablecoin market capitalization could be a potential signal that Bitcoin price could rise in the coming weeks. Independent investor Mister Crypto also noted the same correlation in his X post, saying:
Bitcoin is looking at a pivotal daily close above $64,000.
From a technical perspective, the chart shows HH and HL patterns, but a daily close above $64,000 is still significant. BTC reached a high of $64,400 a few hours ago, but is currently attempting to close above $64,000.
Bitcoin remains between the $64,130-$63,300 supply zone formed on September 1st. Since spot bids have not participated in the recent rally, swing traders can profit from swing long around this price range.
However, a daily close above $64,000 would be a strong indication of continued momentum as it shows position above the supply zone and a confirmed monthly high.
