Bitcoin surged by 14% last night, reaching an annual high of $35,280. Here's an in-depth review of Bitcoin (BTC) and Polygon (MATIC) as of Tuesday, October 24.
Bitcoin (BTC)
Investors showcased a pronounced buying interest, propelling BTC to a meteoric rise, and overcoming various resistance points. Within just a few hours, Bitcoin accomplished what it hadn't since the start of the year — it breached the $32,000 mark and confidently stayed above it.
As of now, Bitcoin's upward trajectory remains solid. The primary resistance zone is pinpointed between $34,500 and $35,200. Next in line are the levels at $35,500 and $36,000, which are likely targets for the ongoing bullish phase. It's plausible these markers will be approached in the upcoming days.
For now, the chances of BTC undergoing a correction appear slim. If a dip occurs, the asset's price could retract to the support zones at $33,200-$33,700 and $32,300-$32,800. A more substantial dip would engage the $31,800 buyers' zone, marking the potential bottom of a short-term decline.

Polygon (MATIC)
The altcoin market is mirroring BTC's performance quite closely. Most assets, MATIC included, are on an aggressive upward trajectory, following Bitcoin's lead. However, altcoins seem to have more room to grow, given that only a handful have touched their yearly highs.
Presently, the MATIC trajectory is bullish. Its price is wedged between a support level at $0.63 and a resistance zone spanning from $0.648 to $0.657. Assuming this momentum continues, investors should keep an eye on the $0.67 and $0.70 milestones.
Although the MATIC movement is somewhat more subdued compared to BTC, short-term corrections are expected. Buying orders are mainly clustered around the $0.616-$0.625 zone, with significant levels at $0.612 and the range of $0.600-$0.606.

During such market fluctuations, prudence is paramount. Jumping into BTC at its current peak of around $34,000 might not be the best strategy, even if there's potential for further growth. It might be more prudent to await market stabilization before making spot trading decisions.
