If Grayscale's application gains approval, it may signal increased institutional acceptance, fostering greater liquidity and confidence in the crypto market.&nbsp;Furthermore, as major entities like BlackRock and ARK Investment await decisions on their applications, anticipation and speculation can also drive short-term price fluctuations.<h2 id="strong-bitcoin-price-prediction-strong">Bitcoin Price Prediction</h2>On October 24, the technical landscape for <a href="https://cryptonews.com/news/bitcoin-news/">Bitcoin</a> (BTC/USD) presented some intriguing analysis points. As of my last examination, the cryptocurrency was priced at $33,500, marking a positive 24-hour movement with an approximate gain of 4.5%.&nbsp;Bitcoin continues to lead the market, holding its 1st position with a substantial market capitalization of around $625 billion. The circulating supply is roughly 18.6 million BTC, nearing its capped supply of 21 million.In the 4-hour chart, the pivot point stood firmly at $31,500. Bitcoin faced an immediate resistance at $34,700, with subsequent hurdles at $36,071 and $38,770. On the downside, immediate support was found at $30,335, followed by $29,201 and then $28,403.The technical indicators provided more layers to the story. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) clocked in at a high 87. Such a value, being above 70, suggests an overbought market condition, which may indicate a looming pullback or consolidation.&nbsp;Moreover, an RSI value above 50 traditionally signals bullish market sentiment.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://cimg.co/news/126779/334763/btc.jpg" srcset="https://cimg.co/news/126779/334763/responsive-images/btc___media_library_original_1805_862.jpg 1805w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334763/responsive-images/btc___media_library_original_1200_573.jpg 1200w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334763/responsive-images/btc___media_library_original_900_430.jpg 900w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334763/responsive-images/btc___media_library_original_720_344.jpg 720w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334763/responsive-images/btc___media_library_original_600_287.jpg 600w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334763/responsive-images/btc___media_library_original_300_143.jpg 300w" width="1805" class="content-img" alt=""><figcaption>Bitcoin Price Chart - Source: Tradingview</figcaption></figure>Traders typically view a crossover as a significant change in trend direction. Further, the price comfortably lies above the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of $29,814.00, reinforcing the short-term bullish trend. However, a dip below this point could spark bearish sentiment.Interestingly, the daily timeframe chart pattern showcased "Three White Soldiers," a bullish signal suggesting strong buying activity.&nbsp;However, the heightened RSI coupled with Bitcoin's struggle around the 1.414% Fibonacci extension level at $34,700 may hint at a bearish correction if it fails to breach this resistance.&nbsp;If Bitcoin maintains momentum and successfully surpasses the $34,700 mark, it's likely to challenge the $36,071 level soon. On the flip side, failing to do so might lead to a decline towards the immediate support levels.&nbsp;As always, investors are urged to conduct thorough research before making any investment decisions.<h2 id="strong-top-15-cryptocurrencies-to-watch-in-2023-strong">Top 15 Cryptocurrencies to Watch in 2023</h2>Stay up-to-date with the world of digital assets by exploring our handpicked collection of the best 15 alternative cryptocurrencies and ICO projects to keep an eye on in 2023.&nbsp;Our list has been curated by professionals from Industry Talk and Cryptonews, ensuring expert advice and critical insights for your cryptocurrency investments.&nbsp;Take advantage of this opportunity to discover the potential of these digital assets and keep yourself informed.<div class="raw-html-embed"><div style="background: #920047;margin-bottom: 20px;width: 50%;text-align: center;padding: 8px;border-radius: 5px;background-image: linear-gradient(107deg,#930046,#59008a);color: white;padding-left: 1em;padding-right: 1em; font-size: 16px;"><a style="text-decoration:none;color:white" href="https://cryptonews.com/news/new-cryptocurrency.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noindex">See the 15 Cryptocurrencies</a></div></div><h2 id="strong-find-the-best-price-to-buy-sell-cryptocurrency-strong">Find The Best Price to Buy/Sell Cryptocurrency</h2><figure class="image"><img src="https://cimg.co/news/126779/334764/screenshot-41.jpg" srcset="https://cimg.co/news/126779/334764/responsive-images/screenshot-41___media_library_original_1551_593.jpg 1551w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334764/responsive-images/screenshot-41___media_library_original_1200_459.jpg 1200w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334764/responsive-images/screenshot-41___media_library_original_900_344.jpg 900w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334764/responsive-images/screenshot-41___media_library_original_720_275.jpg 720w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334764/responsive-images/screenshot-41___media_library_original_600_229.jpg 600w, https://cimg.co/news/126779/334764/responsive-images/screenshot-41___media_library_original_300_115.jpg 300w" width="1551" class="content-img" alt=""><figcaption>Cryptocurrency Price Tracker - Source: Cryptonews.com</figcaption></figure>Disclaimer: Cryptocurrency projects endorsed in this article are not the financial advice of the publishing author or publication - cryptocurrencies are highly volatile investments with considerable risk, always do your own research.
