All that stands in the way of Bitcoin’s next milestone is a new plunge below $45,000.
On April 2, Bitcoin (BTC) consolidated above the yearly open of 2022 after a brief return to form saw bulls recoup $47,000.
Long-term support for the Bitcoin price is “crucial.”
BTC/USD was circling $46,600 on Saturday, according to data fromTradingView, after a clear bounce at long-term support.
The pair had fallen to lows of approximately $44,300 on Friday, but these were short-lived as optimistic mood dominated the Wall Street open.
With the intention to keep freshly flipped support confirmed, contributor Michal van de Poppe was betting on an attack on $50,000.
On the day, he summarised to Twitter followers, “Crucial area held up for Bitcoin, in which continuing upwards seems plausible.”
“If we return to the $45k range, I believe it will be a sign of weakness, and we will move to the $40k range. If we don’t, $50k next week is a possibility.”
Meanwhile, PlanB, the analyst behind the popular stock-to-flow based Bitcoin price models, highlighted that Bitcoin’s relative strength index has remained strong (RSI).
