Bitcoin traded above $60,000 on July 14 as an assassination attempt on United States presidential candidate Donald Trump sparked BTC price volatility.
BTC price spikes above $60,400
Data tracked a crypto market surge as news of the attack, which Trump survived, came in.
Local highs of $60,423 on Bitstamp marked Bitcoin’s (BTC) highest value since July 4.
Amid uncharacteristically strong performance for a weekend, traders looked to the weekly close and start of legacy market trading for proof that the rally had legs.
“$60,500 reclaim would be awesome to see today for the bulls. Real sign of strength if we get it,” popular trader Crypto Tony argued in a post on X.
Trader and analyst Rekt Capital placed importance on the same area as BTC/USD fought to maintain a post-halving “reaccumulation range” now under threat.
“Bitcoin is less than -1.5% away from positioning itself for an all-important reclaim of $60,600 as support,” he wrote overnight.
“Bitcoin has 24 hours to do so to protect the ReAccumulation Range.”
With price now up 5% versus the July 12 close, a significant “gap” in CME Group Bitcoin futures lay potentially waiting to be filled.
For popular trader Daan Crypto Trades, however, there was a chance of a different outcome — a bear trap.
“Still a weekend move, but if there’s ever a place to just run away with it and keep a lot of market participants sidelined, I couldn’t think of a much better spot to do so,” part of his latest X content stated.
“Anyways, liquidity/volumes relatively low and yet to be seen how stocks open up tomorrow.”
The latest live data from monitoring resource CoinGlass showed ask liquidity clustering at $60,660 at the time of writing, with support thickening below the $60,000 mark.
Bitcoin bulls snatch at trend line support
The move to 10-day highs meanwhile allowed BTC/USD to attempt a reclaim of the key 200-day moving average, at $59,207 as of July 14.
This formed one of several “bull market trendlines” lost in recent weeks. As Cointelegraph reported, others include the short-term holder realized price — the aggregate cost basis of Bitcoin market speculators.
Around the same level as the 200-day trend line is the average purchase price for investors in the US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.
Per data from onchain analytics resource Checkonchain, uploaded to X by its founder Checkmate, this stood at $58,240 on July 10.
