Bitcoin approached the $60,000 mark as Wall Street opened on September 13. On the same day, gold hit a record high of $2,585 per ounce. These gains were supported by positive US macroeconomic data and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut.
Bitcoin reached 10-day highs on Bitstamp, according to Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView data. The US stock market also showed slight gains.
Analyst Rekt Capital noted that Bitcoin made a significant bounce from the lower end of its falling price channel. Bitcoin closing the week above $58,150 could continue its uptrend.
Bitcoin’s monthly performance is only slightly down from September, which was generally down 7%. Analyst CrypNuevo said that Bitcoin is in a slow but steady uptrend.
