Bitcoin (BTC) encountered strong resistance near its previous high on October 8, when a new surge of more than $ 56,000 quickly ended.

Buy discount? $ 53,000 is “fair”

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView tracked BTC / USD as it hit a four-month high of $ 56,150.

The $ 58,000 area that turned out to be the sticking point for the bulls earlier this year came back to haunt them that day, which didn’t come as a shock to analysts.

“Unsurprisingly, that $ 56 to $ 58,000 area offers some resistance as there are some overhead deals there from earlier this year,” said William Clemente commented.

“~ $ 53,000 would be a reasonable range to buy a discount.”

This level represents both the $ 1 trillion market cap limit for Bitcoin and the location of a large area of ​​resistance that has acted as a support since Wednesday.
