The largest crypto by market capitalization freefall under $4,000 last week left most investors angry, paralyzed and in shock. However, the surge above $6,000 has clearly shown that recovery to higher levels is possible even if COVID-19 continues to cause havoc across the world.

Initial support has been established at $6,000, allowing the buyers to focus on the psychological $7,000. The RSI failed to penetrate into the overbought region while its retreat towards 60 signals that sellers are gaining traction.
