At the moment, Bitcoin is recovering from its drop that began on September 6. From that time, Bitcoin has risen by more than 23%, going from a low of $52,546 to its current price of $64,795. Famous trader Rekt Capital said that this rise marks a turning point for the crypto. In October, Bitcoin successfully passed a key support level above $65,000.

At the time of publication, Bitcoin was being traded above this important mark, the 200-day simple moving average, which was at $63,351.

The data shows there were bid orders totaling $51.57 million around $63,500, which proves this is a strong support level. The next big challenge for Bitcoin lies between $65,000 to $66,000, which Bitcoin failed to pass in September.
In terms of weekly flow, Bitcoin had a total inflow of $406 million last week. This marked a return to positive flows for Bitcoin after recording net outflows in the week that ended October 4. Short-Bitcoin investment products meanwhile saw an outflow of 6.3 million.
Furthermore, more than $193.2 billion leveraged crypto positions have been liquidated in the last 24 hours, with $121 million liquidated in the last 12 hours. The cryptocurrency trading on the short side has seen liquidations worth $57.17 million. This means that short traders were caught by surprise by Bitcoin’s rise toward $65,000.
