0950 ET - Bitcoin gains 1.7% to $66,443, the highest prices have gotten for the token since June 2. Bitcoin has posted gains for the last three weeks. Today's uptick moves the resistance level for bitcoin up to $68,000, says analysts with Bitfinex in a note. "The market's next direction will likely be decided near the US$68,000 level, where a concentration of breakeven sellers is expected to provide the first major challenge to the rally," says Bitfinex. The firm pegs the short-term holder cost basis of bitcoin around $68,000, meaning that holders that want to exit the coin without stomaching a loss may take the opportunity of a price around that level to do so.
