Bitcoin sets up a showdown with $64,000 as crypto continues to rally

September 20, 2024

BITCOIN logged another green daily candle, notching gains alongside several other cryptocurrencies, such as Avalanche and Solana.

Ethereum is up more than 5% overnight. Bitcoin’s price briefly rose above the $64,000 threshold yesterday, though it quickly retreated to the $63,000 range, where it’s comfortably sitting this morning around $63,500. 

The market indicators, for now, seem pretty happy. Most moving averages are flashing strong buy signals, and the Fear and Greed Index has ticked upward to 54, which is just a whisper away from 'Greed' territory. 

Now, the question on everyone’s mind: Will this current rally fizzle out like the other ones this month? Or are we on the brink of something more substantial?
