Bitcoin breaks $64,500 resistance line and eyes up $65k

BITCOIN saw a near 2% increase overnight, pushing it well above $64,000 this morning, marking a significant jump from last week's lows of around $60,000. Ethereum followed closely, rising to above $2,500, as broader market sentiment improves.

Younger cryptocurrencies are also showing notable gains. The Graph and Aave led the way with more than 5% returns in the last 24 hours, outpacing the major market-cap leaders.

The Fear and Greed Index, which was in 'Fear' territory at 32 last Friday, has jumped to 48 ('Neutral') to start the week. Other momentum indicators, such as moving averages, are signalling a more positive outlook as well.

However, Bitcoin’s next challenge lies at the $64,500 resistance level, a price ceiling it’s struggled to break for the past few weeks, particularly since its last attempt in late September. With momentum building, all eyes are on whether this latest rally can sustain and break through to new highs.
