Bitcoin daily gains near 7%

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingViewconfirmed solid 6.5% gains for BTC/USD in the past 24 hours to 4pm UTC Monday.

The pair erased its previous losses, these coming as part of a comedown from new all-time highs seen on Oct. 25.

As has become customary this month, Bitcoin began rising into the start of trading on United States stock markets, with $64,000 being the next level to reclaim at the time of writing.

With $60,000 seemingly retained as support, the mood among analysts has stayed more than optimistic.

For Cointelegraph contributor Michal van de Poppe, any levels above $57,000 remained acceptable for BTC/USD.

“…I think we’re just going to have a consolidatory period or continue the momentum with some slight sideways action before we’re going to break back up towards $91,000,” he summarized in his latest YouTube update.
