Bitcoin (BTC) broke higher into the Sept. 27 Wall Street open as one analyst predicted a return to $30,000 in October.
BTC price reaches for $27,000 in fresh uptick
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC price action as bulls gathered steam to reach $26,823 on Bitstamp.
The 2% jump to near-weekly highs came as market commentators already eyed thin overhead resistance, with a breakout on the cards should it not be replenished.
“Ask liquidity is pretty wide and thin here again so likely a move higher is going to come from perps,” popular trader Skew explained, continuing the topic.
Skew added that “this can create some good opportunities with inefficiencies & potential premiums later.”

Material Indicators further noted that the move above $26,500 had invalidated a warning signal that came on the back of a daily chart “death cross” at the start of the week.
“Purple buys dips and sells rips. I’m happy to swim in their wake,” co-founder Keith Alan confirmed.
