Bitcoin price touched the $70,000 price level for the first time since June 12, reaching highs of $70,016 on Bitstamp.
The rebound to above the $70k level has bulls eyeing a new upward push that could take Bitcoin beyond its all-time high above $73k reached in March.
What are analysts saying about Bitcoin price?
While BTC targets strengthening above the psychological level, a crypto analyst at CryptoQuant warns that miners are likely to see further outflows and contribute to new sell-off pressure for BTC.
According to XBTManager, miners have moved BTC from their wallets at recent price levels. The previous support level for the miner capitulation was around $53k.
