The crypto markets have recovered quite a bit in the past week. All this was possible because Bitcoin was able to stay above $40k for a while. Yesterday, Bitcoin was rejected from the $43.5k level, and this has already happened thrice till now. After yesterday’s fall, the price bottomed out at $41.8k, and now Bitcoin revisits the breakout region again. It is now trading at $42.8k, and it will be essential to see whether a breakout will happen.
Bitcoin revisits breakout region
The $42k level has been an important support for Bitcoin, and it has held this time as well. We have some resistance at the $42.5k region as the 100 hourly SMA, but it has also been beaten by the bulls. Any downward correction from the $43.5k region is expected to hold at the $42k-$42.5k level. However, we should also note that the price has already been rejected thrice, so the bulls may very well beat $43.5k this time.
As you can see from the 1-hour chart, a bullish trendline has also been forming, which should hold if the price needs to move up. The critical level on the upside will be the $43.3k and $43.5k level. Even if they break, a good volume will be required to make sure that the price sustains over that level. Unless that happens, there is a good chance we will fall back to lower levels and have to retest the resistance again.
Altcoins and Ethereum
The price of altcoins and Ethereum has recovered quite a bit, with Bitcoin staying above the $40k level. Since it hasn’t moved much and is mostly trading in a range, it was an opportunity for altcoins to make some gains. Ethereum is a good example of this. The price has already moved past $3,000 and has surged a lot in the last week. Other coins like Polkadot, Link, and Solana have also increased in price due to the recent bullish sentiment. Even ADA has moved past the $1 mark and is already trading at $1.09, which shows the rally has started to take off.
