Well that is more like it! Bitcoin (BTC) is moving in the right direction after being slightly positive last week it jumped a couple of thousand dollars this week as it pushed above the $22K mark before dropping back below after meeting some resistance and pulling back.

Bitcoin jumped to its highest point today since the fall in mid-June. There are a number of factors driving the rally. First, the Dow and S&P 500 had their best day in a month to close last week and continued climbing today. The correlation between Bitcoin and stocks remains high. Bitcoin futures indicate that investors are expecting more positive momentum as the aggregated open interest on Bitcoin futures is the highest in a month and the funding rate is strongly positive since the beginning of the month. 

Bitcoin and many altcoins are also riding the wave of momentum being generated by Ethereum (ETH) after the announcement of the merge in September sending the second largest cryptocurrency toward the $1,500 mark. The gain of over 25% in a week put confidence back into the crypto market. With Ethereum and alt coins leading the rally today, Bitcoin's market dominance dipped below 40%.

So have we seen the bottom as of yet? That is hard to say but when you see Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies rising when bad news is released you can begin to breath easier so look for that signal.

The Crypto fear and greed index, highlighted below, is at 20 down two points from last week despite the recent run up and remains in "extreme fear" currently a sign that investors are very nervous about Bitcoins price direction.
