Bitcoin (BTC) continues to struggle near the $40,000 resistance zone after overbought signals appeared on the charts. Still, pullbacks could be limited around lower support levels, which could keep buyers active over the short-term.Read MoreFeedzy
Bitcoin (BTC) is consolidating around the $41,000 price level amid declining trading volume.
The cryptocurrency is roughly flat over the past 24 hours, and pullbacks could be limited toward a strong support base at $37,000.
Further, the relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is declining from overbought levels, which reflects a loss of upside momentum. On the daily chart, the RSI is holding above the 50 neutral mark, which means buyers could remain active at lower support levels.
On the weekly chart, technical indicators are improving, similar to what occurred in August 2021, which preceded a 60% price rally. This time, however, there is negative momentum on the monthly chart, which typically precedes rangebound or negative price action. That means upside could be limited around the $46,000-$50,000 resistance zone.
