Bitcoin looks for an upside reversal
On the daily chart, Bitcoin (BTC) after testing the lows of $32,933.33 has surged 45% to the swing highs of $45,855.0. Later on, the price sliced below the 50-day EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $42,859. However, the price remained pressured below the 200 EMA at $48,200.
In the previous session. BTC/USD tested the low of $34,322.0 but recovered back quickly to the highs of $39,720. But price remained in a very tight range with no meaningful price action.
Now, if the buying pressure remained consistent BTC could test the upside filter at the 50-day moving average at $45,900.
Next market participant will keep their eyes on the crucial 200-EMA at $48,200. Thus looking for a total upside of 25% from the current levels.
On the flip side, a break below the session’s low could raise a doubt on the continuation of the upside trend.
Further, a weekly close below the lows of $34,322.0 invalidates the bullish thesis.
