Bitcoin has undergone a strong bounce since the Monday lows of $13,200, set in a rapid crash lower that liquidated millions. The price of the leading cryptocurrency currently is $13,750, up over $500 from the aforementioned lows. On the day, Bitcoin is up 1.5%, outpacing a majority of altcoins including Ethereum but somewhat underperforming the stock market.

This rally in the Bitcoin price comes as the U.S. dollar has continued its descent. The Dollar Index (DXY) has dropped 0.75% in the past day as the market seems to be pricing in further fiscal stimulus after the election takes place.

Bitcoin Expected to Consolidate Despite Rally

Despite the rally, most analysts seem to think that Bitcoin will spend more time consolidating before moving higher once again.

While Bitcoin recovering to $13,750 after falling to $13,200 may be bullish, signs show that the coin is likely to press lower once again prior to moving higher. Referencing the chart below, one analyst said:

“$BTC looks like it needs to reload. Daily SFP into weekly supply, failed break above 2019 high, bear divs flashing on the daily time frame… Bring on the election dip.”
