Trader Notes: As Bitcoin continues its sideways range between $60,000 and $70,000, traders remain upbeat that more upside is still to come. CryptoKaleo pointed out that Bitcoin has hit a new all-time high against the dollar in 2024, but is still to hit an all-time high against the S&P 500. He anticipates price discovery in the near future:

Technical analyst Pierre charted the short-term path for Bitcoin: $69,000 remains the area to break as resistance, while a tight range around $68,000 must hold as support to avoid a short-term dip.

What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
