BTC Price Reaches New 18-Month High
Following the daily close, BTC/USD crossed $36,000, according to data from TradingView and Cointelegraph Markets Pro. On Bitstamp, the pair hit its highest level since early May 2022, when it hit $36,864.
Concerns expressed by market players the day before centered on bid liquidity declining and perhaps permitting a retest of $34,000. Upside entered during US trading hours, proving that this finally failed to happen.

Hopes Rise for ETF Approval Before 2024

Meanwhile, well-known trader Skew, who had earlier issued a warning regarding changes in liquidity, compared the price behavior of BTC to late January, when the cryptocurrency’s year-end surge started to wane. Skew reasoned that a series of higher lows on the 15-minute chart, combined with strong relative strength index values, meant that the low-timeframe uptrend was “still intact.”
