Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed new local highs of $60,271 on Bitstamp on the day.
Despite the absence of traditional market traders, BTC/USD slowly edged higher throughout the weekend, while price indicators hinted at continued upside to come.
Analyzing the Ichimoku cloud on daily timeframes, popular trader Titan of Crypto flagged a key bullish crossover, setting Bitcoin up for an upward run.
“BTC just closed a candle above Tenkan and is now eyeing a Kijun reclaim,” he wrote in part of accompanying commentary on X.

The post additionally noted a bullish cross for the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD)indicator, which measures the interplay between two moving averages to determine buy and sell points.

Continuing, popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital reiterated that $60,600 was now the ideal level for bulls to clinch at the weekly close.

In doing so, the price would win back its post-halving “reaccumulation range” lost during the snap trip to six-month lows earlier in August.
“It would also signal the end of its downside deviation bargain period below the ReAccumulation Range (orange circle),” Rekt Capital added alongside an explanatory chart.BTC/USD 1-week chart. Source: Rekt Capital/X
A further post added a countdown to a more intense period of price growth, using past cycles as a guide.
“Bitcoin is ~125 days after the Halving. Bitcoin tends to breakout into the Parabolic Phase of the cycle some ~160 days after the Halving,” it stated, with Rekt Capital reiterating an existing theory from July.“If history repeats, Bitcoin could be just over a month away from breakout. That"s late September.”
