The cryptocurrency market rebounded 9% on Wednesday as Bitcoin (BTC) broke through key resistance levels to $37,000 range overnight. All top 10 cryptocurrencies, barring stablecoins, have grown by at least 5% in the 24-hour period ending 9.30 hours IST.
The Bitcoin chart has exhibited a rollercoaster ride lately. Technical analysis generates mixed feelings, with probability of both a bear market and a relief rally on the cards.
After breaking the rising wedge pattern on June 7, BTC is now retesting trendline support turned resistance which can eventuate into either a bullish or bearish trend.
Investors are also on the lookout for the possibility of a death cross (when 200 and 50 day moving average cross) which might induce bearishness for weeks ahead. If BTC breaks the $40K level, we could witness a reemergence of the bull run.
Major levels
Support: $33,400 and $30,800
Resistance: $39,000 and $41,500
