Knock Knock… Bitcoin keeps hitting resistance

By Samuel Indyk

Investing.com – The price of Bitcoin edged higher on Friday but continued to find resistance at its downward trendline.

After failing to break above the key resistance level on Wednesday, Bitcoin moved lower over the next two trading days as earnings from Facebook owner Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) disappointed, leading to the largest one-day sell-off of the Nasdaq since September 2020.

The correlation between Bitcoin and US tech stocks held on Friday with Nasdaq Futures rebounding following Amazon's (NASDAQ:AMZN) earnings after market on Thursday. The e-commerce and cloud computing giant is trading higher by over 12% in pre-market trade as its Amazon Web Services business posted operating profit of over $5 billion. The company also announced it would be upping its Prime subscription fee in the US.

Technical Resistance

 

Despite the bounce in technology stocks, and in Bitcoin itself, the cryptocurrency still failed to leap above the downward trendline that has acted as resistance in recent weeks.

The trendline, which has been visible on the daily chart since Bitcoin hit an all-time high in November, has acted as resistance numerous times since. Bitcoin has touched the line and retreated on three separate occasions this week alone.

A break above the trendline resistance could see Bitcoin push higher and make a move towards the psychological $40,000 threshold.

If Bitcoin again fails to break above the resistance level then support is seen in the $35,000-$36,500 zone. A break below that level and the year-to-date low around $33,000 will be the next major support level before a potential test of $30,000.

    • While established players like Binance held steady market share, Bitget has shown impressive growth in Q1 2024. Their derivatives market share jumped from 9% to 12% in just two months, pushing them to the number 3 spot, surpassing OKX. This surge coincides with a significant increase in their user base, reaching 25 million.   The exchanges’ growth isn’t limited to market share. Their spot trading volume also saw explosive increases throughout the quarter, culminating in March’s staggering $95 billion. This impressive performance has seen Bitget overtake several competitors, solidifying their position as a leading exchange for both experienced and new crypto traders.
    • SOL is on the move! Keep your eyes peeled as it approaches key resistance at $148.27. Further ceilings await at $148.98 and $151.86. However, a breakthrough could signal a stronger bullish phase.   Support levels stand firm at $141.17, with even stronger foundations at $133.73 and $128.71. These are critical in case of any selling pressure, offering potential buying opportunities on dips.   Feeling bullish? Traders might consider long entries on pullbacks to major support levels, with stop-loss orders placed below $133.73 to manage risk. If SOL struggles, short positions could be in play with targets set at subsequent support levels.
    • In last couple of years, there has been  debate over the top memecoin investment with centre of discussion around DOGE, SHIB, FLOKI, PEPE and a host of others. Personally, I feel comparing any contender to DOGE feels akin to comparing altcoins to BTC. DOGE, being the pioneer memecoin, boasts an impressive $22 billion market cap, towering over its closest competitor, SHIB, with a $13 billion market cap. Its unique endorsement by Elon Musk further solidifies its position. The fervent backing from its vast online and offline community serves as a blueprint for other memecoins to follow. Thus, it's no surprise that DOGE emerged victorious in a recent Bitget poll, where enthusiasts competed to showcase their community's strength in honor of DOGE DAY 2024. With DOGE predictably clinching the win, ten fortunate participants stand to each receive $300 worth of DOGE through the event's gleam completion. Let's seize this opportunity to bolster our crypto portfolios.
