  • Bitcoin remains in a downtrend on the four-hour chart defined by a series of lower price highs since the April 14 all-time high of around $64,800.
  • There is strong resistance from the $60,000 level and around $56,000. The 100-period moving average on the four-hour chart has kept a lid on price movements since the April 17 sell-off.
  • The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is around neutral territory after reaching overbought levels on Tuesday.
  • For now, it appears that buyers are still in profit-taking mode as BTC drifts toward lower support around $52,000. A decisive break above $56,000 is needed to resume the roughly 15% price recovery from the April 25 low.
