Bitcoin Testing Resistance Near $40K; Support at $35K-$37K

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to hover around the $40K resistance zone, albeit with slowing upside momentum. Intraday charts appear overbought, which typically precede brief pullbacks. Still, lower support at $35K and $37K could stabilize selling pressure.Read MoreFeedzy

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to hover around the $40,000 price level amid choppy trading conditions. The cryptocurrency faces strong overhead resistance, which could stall the recent upswing in price. Still, lower support at $35,000 and $37,000 could stabilize pullbacks into the Asia trading day.

BTC was trading around $40,800 at press time and is up 3% over the past week.

The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is approaching overbought levels, similar to what occurred earlier this month, which preceded brief pullbacks in price. On the weekly chart, however, the RSI is rising from oversold levels, decreasing the likelihood of a significant price sell-off.

Typically, BTC consolidates for about two months following an extreme upswing or downtrend. That means the current trading range between $30,000 and $40,000 could persist until a decisive breakout or breakdown occurs.
