Bitcoin Fades From Resistance; Support at $40K
Downside could persist into the Asia trading day.
Bitcoin (BTC) struggled to break above the $44,000 resistance level as overbought conditions appeared on the charts. Momentum is starting to slow, which could point to a deeper pullback into the Asia trading day.
Still, buyers could remain active at lower support levels, particularly at $40,000. At that point, the pullback could stabilize on intraday charts.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
On the daily chart, there is stronger resistance at $46,000, which capped the price rally in early February. Buyers will need to make a decisive break above resistance in order to reverse the three-month long downtrend.
Most indicators are neutral, although there has been a loss of downside momentum on the weekly chart, which could be a positive development this month.
BTC was trading around $43,000 at press time and is up 17% over the past week.
