BTC/USDT ChartSource- Tradingview

The early May sell-off in the largest cryptocurrency-Bitcoin breached some significant psychological levels such as $35000 and $30000. As a result, the extended correction slumped the price to a new lower low of $27600.

However, the BTC price started to coil up above the fresh low and initiated a consolidation phase. As a result, this range-rally getting hammered from a descending trendline shows lower higher formation in the 4-hour time frame chart. 

On May 14th, the BTC price rebounded from the $26800 support twice within a week, suggesting an accumulation zone for buyers. Furthermore, the coin price is 5% up today and attempts to reclaim $30000.

A potential breakout from the resistance trendline would drive the coin price $50 higher to $10 high to $33000

However, the aligned resistance of the descending trendline and 50 EMA may undermine the recovery rally.

Technical indicator-

The 50 EMA aligned with the descending trendline accentuates the weightage of the overhead resistance. Moreover, a bearish sequence of these EMAs keeps the sellers in charge. 

Despite a sideways rally in price action, a significant bullish divergence in MACD and line suggest growth in underlying bullishness. Moreover, a recent bullish crossover among these lines gives an additional boost to long trades.   

  • Resistance level- $35000, and $40000
  • Support level- $33000 and $30000
