Market Moves by Omkar Godbole Bitcoin Eyes $40K as Musk Says Tesla May Use Crypto in Future Bitcoin looks north as Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the electric-car maker will accept the cryptocurrency as an alternative payment subject to miners meeting environmental standards. Bitcoin prices with 200-day moving average, May-June 2021 (Source: TradingView) The cryptocurrency is trading near $39,200 at press time, representing an about 11% gain on a 24-hour basis. Prices hit a 2 1/2-week high of $39,794 earlier Monday, according to CoinDesk 20 data.Buyers stepped in on Sunday after Musk tweeted that Tesla will allow bitcoin (BTC, +9.76%) transactions again "when there's confirmation of reasonable (50%) clean energy usage by miners with a positive future trend." "Musk's latest tweet is net positive for bitcoin because it not only gives a benchmark for Tesla to deem the cryptocurrency carbon neutral, but it will force mining groups to publicize information, therefore making the entire mining operations more transparent and environmental, social, and governance-friendly," Nick Mancini, a research analyst at Trade the Chain, said. "It will put the juice to the upside," Brian Tehako, executive director of Trading Desk Operations at the digital-assets market maker Hehmeyer, told CoinDesk in a Telegram chat. "Our five-day simple moving average crossed through the 20-day average [a bullish development]. The market could rise to $41,900." The widely-tracked 200-day simple moving average (SMA) resistance is currently located at $42,484, according to technical analysis data source TradingView. Tesla first announced bitcoin as a payment option in February, only to suspend it early May on environmental concerns. While the market mood has improved in the past 24 hours, caution ahead of the Federal Reserve rate decision, due Wednesday, may keep gains in check. The Fed's liquidity-boosting monetary policy has come under fire in recent weeks, with former central bank officials, economists, and market participants calling it inappropriate amid inflation concerns. "Rather ironic to live whining about the Fed, yet without the Fed and its expansionary policies, the price of bitcoin would be 90% lower," trader and analyst Alex Kruger tweeted

Technician's Take by Damanick Dantes, CMT Bitcoin Attempts Range Breakout; Faces Resistance at $42K Bitcoin (BTC) held support around $34,000 over the weekend and is approaching resistance around $40,000-$42,000. The world’s largest cryptocurrency has been consolidating for nearly a month as buyers established a solid base around $30,000.
A breakout from the range would yield further upside towards $50,000. However, sellers remain in control given strong overhead resistance.
Bitcoin was trading around $39,300 at press time and is up about 9% over the past 24-hours.
Bitcoin four-hour chart shows short-term support and resistance levels with RSI (Source: TradingView) The short-term trend is improving as price returned above the 100-period moving average on the four-hour chart.There is immediate resistance at $40,000 which could limit upside, especially as the relative strength index (RSI) appears overbought on the four-hour chart. Minor support is seen around $34,000 which is the mid-point of the short-term range. If support holds, a decisive breakout above $42,000 could shift the downtrend from May.
