Bitcoin Rangebound; Initial Support at $40K

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading in a tight range between $43K and $44K on Wednesday. The cryptocurrency could find short-term support at $40K, although upside momentum is starting to wane on intraday charts.Read MoreFeedzy

Bitcoin (BTC) was trading in a tight range between $43,000 and $44,000 over the past 24 hours. Support is nearby, which could limit pullbacks over the short term.

Buyers will need to maintain a price floor above $40,000 to sustain the uptrend from $36,000 that occurred on Feb. 3. Intraday charts appear overbought, however, which could stall the upside, similar to what occurred last week.

For now, the 50-day moving average on the four-hour chart has flattened, indicating a pause in upside momentum. Resistance remains at $46,000, and if buyers fail to maintain current levels, a dip toward $35,000 seems likely.
