Bitcoin (BTC) touched $24,000 at the July 20 Wall Street open as the good times kept rolling for crypto markets.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD passing its latest milestone after a brief consolidation.
Twenty-four-hour gains for the pair remained at nearly 8% and weekly returns near 25% as Bitcoin and altcoins benefitted from a declining U.S. dollar and rising stock markets.
Bitcoin's rise had seen bulls reclaim key trendlines lost in June, but the jury remained out on whether the newfound strength could endure beyond the current weekly candle.
"Bitcoin rally looking good? Yes. But BTC shall take no pride in this rally," analyst Venturefounder commented.
"BTC and NASDAQ correlation is still at 91% (historical high), and both of which are looking at the Fed policies, interest rate & recession concern forecast and $DXY for guidance. All is macro driven."
The U.S. dollar index (DXY) nonetheless showed no signs of staging its own successful recovery on the day, getting rejected at 107 after a local bottom.
Popular trader and analyst Josh Rager, meanwhile, demanded a "confident" tip to the $30,000 zone in order for Bitcoin to truly flip from bearish to bullish.

TechDev flagged the True Strength Index (TSI) for Bitcoin, a metric that uses several base calculations to determine how overbought or oversold the asset is at a particular price.
The price decline since the last all-time high in November 2021 remains on-trend, he argued, and thus the potential for historical patterns to repeat themselves.
As such, I expect:

- Intermediate wave 5 top at 80-120K in 2023
- Primary wave 4 down to 30-50K in 2024
- Primary wave 5 over 200K in 2025 to conclude cycle wave 3
Detailed chart with supporting evidence is forthcoming.
I'm sure now that it's written down it won't happen.
