Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Latest – $42k Resistance Coming Under Renewed Pressure

Bitcoin is making a comeback after the heavy selling seen earlier in the month and is now pressing against an old resistance level and an important technical indicator that guard a further move higher in BTC/USD. While risk markets remain nervous, any move higher in Bitcoin will be limited at best, but the technical setup for BTC/USD is now looking more positive.

The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is currently testing $42k again after breaking and then retreating below this level yesterday. The late March/early April sell-off in the pair now looks to be over after a support zone around $39.6k held firm and prompted a move higher. The mid-April low produced a multi-month low reading on the CCI indicator highlighting the oversold nature of Bitcoin, and this reading is now moving higher as the sell-off is washed out.

The resistance level mentioned above is made up of a cluster of prior supportive prints at the end of last year which then turned into resistance in early February and early March. A failed break of $42k earlier this month sent the pair tumbling lower. This resistance is now being given added strength by the 50-day simple moving average.

Popular Moving Averages and How to Use Them

If Bitcoin can make a confirmed break above this level, then a quick move back to the next zone of resistance is likely with little technical resistance shown on the daily chart. Above here the 200-day simple moving average – currently at $48k – will be the next challenge for BTC/USD.

    • Ondo finance is a project that is aimed to democratise access to institutional grade financial products and services using blockchain technology.  The project’s team seeks to leverage on the blockchain technology, to improve both the financial infrastructure and accessibility of financial products. The team cuts across former members of reputable firms like Goldman Sachs and partnerships with VCs like; Blackrock and Morgan Stanley. Practically, it seeks to integrate the real world assets with blockchain technology. The native token $ONDO has performed exceedingly well since its launch in January18th, 2024. The tokenized products offered by the project have a bearing to US treasuries and the US money market funds. After keenly reading about this project it is quite clear that it is a fine blend of tradfi and defi product services. With this immense usecase, $ONDO will do very well. Looking at these, T1 platforms like Bitget have listed it and the price action is quite fair thus.        
    • You all will agree with me that many of us tends to focus on big names like BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP. I've followed this trend too. But lately, I've realized there's a whole world of opportunities beyond these mainstream coins. Taking a closer look at the market: BTC and ETH haven't doubled since the start of 2024. Meanwhile, some lesser-known crypto projects have shot up by 400% and more. I am not talking about memecoins  Just today while reading an article about ONDO and ZEEBU published by Bitget, I was amazed to see the incredible growth these two tokens have undergone in the past few months. While ONDO deals with tokenized real-world assets, ZEEBU is a loyalty token for smoother global transactions, rewarding users along the way. Both have seen incredible growth recently. Sure, holding BTC has its perks, but tokens like ONDO and ZEEBU are gaining traction fast. They've already hit billion-dollar market caps from humble beginnings. It seems like these underdog projects might be the ones to watch during this bullish phase. But the challenge remains: how do we identify gems in this evolving landscape?
