Over the past month, Bitcoin, despite such negative news as the CFTC’s lawsuit against BitMEX and withdrawal freezes of withdrawals on OKEx, rose about 30%.

This year ranks as the second-best month for the leading cryptocurrency after April, when the market was recovering from the March crash.

Traders often look at monthly candles to judge long-term and macro trends in the asset. A clear breakout of psychologically important levels, such as $13,000 for Bitcoin, typically signals a technical breakout to the upside.

As reported, on Saturday, October 31, the price of Bitcoin reached a fresh 2020 high above $14,000.
