With Bitcoin’s market value above the 50-day EMA and the 23.60% Fibonacci level, the rising momentum may soon drive the upswing higher. As the next resistance stands at the $47K mark, the BTC price might find a rise in trading volume, supporting the bull run.
Further, the recovery in the U.S. markets can help improve the sentiments in the crypto market and drive the BTC price uptrend. Supporting the sentiments, the slowdown in GBTC outflows and the IBIT ETF reaching the $2 Billion mark are changing the sentiments slowly.
Technical Indicators:
MACD Indicator: After the recent bullish buyback, the MACD and signal lines give a bullsih crossover below the halfway line. Hence, the momentum indicator teases a bullish trend reversal in Bitcoin.
Will BTC Price Cross Beyond $45K?
As the market movies beyond the sentiment crisis of last week grow heavier, the crucial support zone at the $41K mark begins to bend. Moreover, the reclamation of the 50-day EMA marks a milestone event in the short-term trend and projects a potential turnaround for Bitcoin. Optimistically, an upside continuation can result in a bull run to the overhead ceiling at $46,758.
On the flip side, if the BTC price reverses, it is to test the $38,642 mark.
