“Bitcoin’s resilience above the $33,750 mark showcases its growing maturity, while market analysts anticipate a potential pullback to the low $30k range, setting the stage for a compelling buying opportunity.”
The cryptocurrency market ended the week on a flat note, with Bitcoin reaching its highest price since May 2022.

However, stocks traded mixed, with the S&P and Dow finishing down while the Nasdaq gained slightly.
The Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation metric, the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, showed a rise in prices in September, indicating that the Fed may need to keep interest rates higher for longer. Some speculate that the central bank may need to raise rates further if inflation starts to climb again.
Bitcoin faced selling pressure in the afternoon, dropping to a low of $33,395. At the time of writing, BTC trades at $33,800. Technical analysts suggest that Bitcoin still has bullish momentum and may see more upside in the near term.
