Bitcoin (BTC) price recovers strongly to break above the $22,000 level, signaling rising sentiment among traders.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Awaits Bulls Take Over
As Bitcoin price continues its bear market rally, the question that remains is whether BTC price has bottomed or not. Historically, September has not been a great month for Bitcoin and volatility is also rising amid the CPI data that will decide a 50 or 75 bps rate hike by the Fed on September 21. Further, Ethereum Merge this week is also impacting the Bitcoin network activity.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez in a tweet on September 12 said “the bottom could be in!” Bitcoin records a rising number of daily addresses, with the weekly average hitting over 410,000 addresses. If the number of average weekly addresses jumps over 415,000, it will confirm a bullish outlook. Thus, BTC bulls may take over from bears.
