Bitcoin Approaching $40K Resistance Zone; Support at $37K

Bitcoin (BTC) is still rangebound with low trading volume, which means a breakout or breakdown could occur this week. Support above $37K remains intact, although upside could be limited beyond $40K-$46K.Read MoreFeedzy

Bitcoin (BTC) is recovering after multiple setbacks from the $40,000 resistance zone. Technical indicators are mostly neutral and trading volume is low, suggesting a breakout or breakdown is likely this week.

BTC was trading around $39,300 at press time and is roughly flat over the past week.

So far, buyers have maintained a strong support base around $37,000, which could limit pullbacks over the short term. The significant loss of downside momentum on the weekly chart could also encourage buying activity, especially if a breakout above $40,000 occurs.

On the monthly chart, however, momentum signals are negative, which means upside could be limited toward the $46,700 resistance level.
