Major Cryptos Mostly Upbeat, Bitcoin Tests Key Technical Levels

Nikos Tzabouras Written by Nikos Tzabouras

BTC/USD Analysis

The cryptocurrency comes from two negative weeks and the new one started with fresh April lows, but has since been recovering, entering today the fifth consecutive profitable day. Yesterday it had rejected the EMA200 and the 38.2% Fibonacci of the 2022 High/April Low decline, but today it breaks fresh ground.

This can drive it towards the 200Days EMA (at around 44,200-44,520), but we are cautious at this stage around its ascending prospects, as there are more roadblocks ahead, such as the ascending trendline from this year's highs.

Despite the recent winning streak, BTC/USD runs a losing month, while the RSI points to overbought conditions and as long as it does not clear the EMA200, it is in precarious position. As such, there is risk for a return below 40,888-33, but it may be early for fresh monthly lows (38,540).
