$23,000 targets stay in place

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView demonstrated BTC/USD hitting $21,730 on Bitstamp overnight — probably the most since August. 26.

The happy couple were able to conserve its prior gains despite low-volume weekend buying and selling conditions being likely to amplify any weakness.

“Expect volatility to get around next week’s economic data,” on-chain monitoring resource Material Indicators authored partly of the tweet over the past weekend.

“In the meantime, remember…This can be a rally. If you do not take profit on the way, you risk passing on all back.”

For popular account Il Capo of Crypto, meanwhile, there is room for further upside.

He added, however, there would be a “90% chance” that BTC cost action would go back under $20,000 later on.

$23,200 seemed to be a target for trader CJ, who eyed various short-term levels for clues regarding lengthy and short entry positions.

“Septembears” have a beating

The weekly close thus looked set to become a three-week high, Bitcoin already buying and selling above closing prices in the other half of August.
