Bitcoin price continues to show resilience near the $67,000 level despite recent market fluctuations. A stronger US dollar, as indicated by the Dollar Index (DXY) reaching three-month highs, briefly pushed Bitcoin to an intra-day low of $66,759. However, Bitcoin has managed to maintain a bullish stance amid these challenges.

With the US presidential election approaching on November 5, both candidates have highlighted cryptocurrency, boosting Bitcoin’s prominence. As of October 17, Bitcoin posted a notable 10.59% gain over the past week on foreign exchanges, driven by increased interest in Trump-backed WLFI tokens and optimism around potential crypto-friendly regulations.

In addition, rising investment in Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen over $19 billion in net inflows, has reinforced market confidence. The broader outlook remains positive, with BlackRock’s bullish stance and Standard Chartered’s forecast of BTC reaching $73,000 supporting continued upward momentum. Although uncertainty remains, the fundamentals suggest that Bitcoin’s rally is far from over.

Bitcoin (BTC) recently hit a three-month high, reaching around $68,000, but the strength of the US dollar is causing concern among Bitcoin bulls.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) soared to 103.45, its highest level since early August, which usually negatively impacts Bitcoin prices. Despite this, Bitcoin has managed to rise, which some analysts find unusual given their typical inverse relationship.

Traders are wary, with many speculating that this could lead to an “exit pump,”
