Bitcoin Price Reclaims $64,000 as Wall Street Calls It an Accumulation Phase
Bitcoin spent most of the summer trapped in a narrow band, and for weeks the market treated every push toward $65,000 as another chance to sell. This week the tone shifted. BTC crossed back above $64,000 and briefly tagged $65,000 intraday for the first time in over a week, and it did so on a session where US equity ETFs were red.
