The crypto market, which saw an explosive start to the month with soaring prices of major cryptocurrencies, is currently experiencing a notable pullback. Bitcoin, in particular, made headlines as it surged towards the $28,000 mark yesterday, but its attempt to breach the 200-day Simple Moving Average resulted in a 3% correction over the past 24 hours. Notably, altcoins like Ethereum, Dogecoin, and XRP are mirroring Bitcoin's bearish movement, also facing significant declines.

Bitcoin Minetrix: The New Player in the Crypto Arena
Adding to the intrigue of the cryptocurrency market is the emergence of a new player – Bitcoin Minetrix. This cryptocurrency has garnered substantial support from prominent traders, hinting at a potentially strong bull rally. Impressively, in just one week, the token's ICO has managed to raise close to $400,000 in seed round funding.
Bullish Predictions Amid Short-Term Fluctuations
Over the past month, Bitcoin has exhibited a recurring pattern of a bullish breakout followed by a near-complete retracement of its rally. This volatile pattern continues to challenge both bearish and bullish traders, leading to a choppy BTC trading market. Yesterday's price action was consistent with this trend as Bitcoin reached the $28,000 level but was unable to sustain it. As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $27,400, with the open interest in the token returning to its pre-rally levels.
Despite these fluctuations, some experts remain highly optimistic. Michael van de Poppe of MN Trading, a well-followed analyst, believes that Bitcoin could reach the $35,000 mark within the next 4 to 8 weeks if it continues to trade above the 200-week EMA. Additionally, technical indicators support this bullish sentiment, with TradingView issuing a "buy" signal in the daily time frame. Bullish investors are eagerly awaiting a breakthrough of the critical 200-day Simple Moving Average at $28,037 for a robust continuation.
Apart from favorable technical indicators, the anticipation surrounding spot Bitcoin ETFs continues to drive Bitcoin's value higher. Despite the SEC's repeated delays in deciding on pending ETF applications, investors maintain their faith in the eventual approval of a spot BTC ETF. Bernstein analysts and other market insiders had initially projected approval by early 2024, and these delays have not dampened investor enthusiasm. Moreover, bipartisan support from US lawmakers urging the SEC to approve the ETFs could lead to more investors taking long positions on Bitcoin.
Unexpectedly, Bitcoin may also benefit from the cooling inflation signals in the US economy. Although several Fed officials have hinted at the possibility of an interest rate hike, experts like Warren Pies of 3Fourteen Research view this move as unlikely.
In summary, the overall market sentiment regarding Bitcoin remains remarkably positive, and there is a strong possibility that the token could reach the $35,000 price mark by the end of October.
Bitcoin Minetrix ICO Gains Impressive Momentum
While Bitcoin attracts attention, it's not the only cryptocurrency expected to surge in October. Bitcoin Minetrix, a new altcoin, is rapidly gaining traction in its ICO, having already raised an impressive $385,000 in just one week. This project's primary objective is to make the Bitcoin mining industry more accessible to retail investors, offering an excellent opportunity to earn passive BTC rewards.
