Bitcoin (BTC) cruised into a new weekly close on Oct. 15 as “ultra boring” trading conditions still offered hope of a $27,000 breakthrough.
“Ultra boring” BTC price may yet surprise at weekly close
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView tracked a typically sideways weekend, with BTC price volatility absent prior to the close.
Still acting around the key $26,800 mark, Bitcoin denied traders major trajectory cues, while spot markets were quiet.

Considering upside potential, Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of MN Trading, argued that there was room for a BTC price trip to $27,800.
“Weekends are ultra boring for trading, especially for Bitcoin,” he told X subscribers on the day.
“Unchanged perspective. Did a double-bottom test at $26,500 and held there. Currently fighting resistance, through which another test of $27,000 should end up with a breakout to $27,800.”
Popular trader and analyst Daan Crypto Trades meanwhile eyed an upcoming weekly candle closing below a “bull market support band” formed of two moving averages.
“Still no convincing close above or below for some weeks now as we trade right around the area,” part of X commentary stated.
Additional analysis predicted volatility picking up toward the end of the day, with the latest CME Group Bitcoin futures closing price at $26,840 an area of interest.
