Technical Analysis

Bitcoin Analysis

BTC sat comfortably below the 50-day EMA while remaining above the 200-day EMA. The EMAs affirmed the bearish near-term but bullish longer-term price signals.

A BTC breakout from the $60,365 resistance level would give the bulls a run at the 50-day EMA and the $64,000 resistance level. Selling pressure could intensify at the $64,000 resistance level. The 50-day EMA is confluent with the resistance level.

On Thursday, US labor market data and BTC-spot ETF flow data from HK and the US need consideration.

Conversely, a BTC fall through the $55,000 handle could give the bears a run at the $52,884 support level.

With a 31.71 14-Daily RSI reading, BTC could drop to the $55,000 handle before entering oversold territory.
