Bitcoin is trading at $41,300 as of the writing. There has been sideways movement in the last day. While the currency trades within a narrow range, it could soon see volatility increase.
Data from Material Indicators (MI) records short-term resistance as BTC’s price is above its current levels. From $41,300 up to $41,400, there are more than $5,000,000 in requests orders. This may stop the bullish momentum from continuing to lower the price.
On the other side of the trade, there is major support for BTC’s price at $39,000. These levels see the cryptocurrency record $9 million in order volume with more liquidity at lower levels. If it returns to this area, BTC may see a strong rebound.
A pseudonym trader recently pointed out that BTC’s price has seen constant rejection from the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA), a level often associated with trend direction for an asset. BTC’s current EMA stands at around $42,000.
Bitcoin has to rise above this price point in order to move upwards and overcome further resistance. The price point could be between $45,000 and $48,000. It is the most important time frame in cryptocurrency history.
The pseudonym analyst is optimistic about BTC’s price capacity to break above its 200 EMA for the 4-hour chart.
$BTCOnce again, we are rejecting the 4H 200EMA. We’ll continue to be in this downward trend as long as the price doesn’t rise above 200EMA.
Although the 200EMA continues to trend down, a break in is likely.
