Some market analysts also believe that the $65,000 level could prove to be a bit stuck considering Friday’s Bitcoin options expiry.

Chris Newhouse, director of research at Cumberland Labs said:
“We’re at $65,000 levels now, and slowly testing higher, either we break out and maintain that as a new level of price discovery, or we don’t break higher and see a sharp decline.”
Crypto analytics platform Santiment reported that this is the first time since August 1st that BTC price has surged past the $65,000 mark. A key factor behind the price surge has been consistent accumulation by large holders, including whales and sharks. Over the past six months, wallets holding 10 or more BTC have amassed a total of $4.08 billion worth of Bitcoin, helping to prevent any sustained downturns in the market.
