Market Moves by Omkar Godbole Bitcoin Briefly Above $40K Bitcoin’s recovery gathered steam on Wednesday with prices topping $40,000 to hit the highest level in nearly a week.

The cryptocurrency is yet to pass through the widely tracked 200-day simple moving average hurdle at $40,639. Major alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) are also gaining ground and flashing relatively bigger returns. Names including MATIC, LINK and BNB have gained 10% to 14%, while ether (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, is trading 6% higher. Altcoins suffered sharp losses last week as bitcoin crashed. Ether fell by over 40%, registering its biggest weekly decline on record.

Technician's Take by Damanick Dantes Bitcoin Rises from Oversold Levels; Faces Resistance Near $40K-$45K Bitcoin (BTC) made a brief move above $40,000 resistance on Tuesday but buyers were unable to sustain upside momentum. The cryptocurrency was trading around $39,700 at the time of writing and could see another attempt towards $40,000 to $45,000.
The recovery from the May 19 low is improving which could stabilize selling pressure over the short term.
Four-hour bitcoin chart shows short-term support and resistance levels with RSI (Source: TradingView) The relative strength index (RSI) is not yet overbought on the four-hour chart which suggests further buying strength, albeit briefly.Bitcoin is now above the 50-period volume weighted moving average on the four-hour chart but faces resistance near the 100-period moving average – a more reliable gauge of the intraday downtrend. Bitcoin is up about 8% over the past seven days after a successful re-test around $30,000 support on Sunday. The daily price chart is improving, although a decisive break above $40,000 is needed to maintain a bullish posture. For now, price recoveries appear counter-trend and limited to nearby resistance levels.
