Bitcoin locked in a vice

 

Market Picture

Bitcoin fell towards $26.5K last week, but a more intense sell-off was avoided. At the start of the new week, this ability of the crypto market not to collapse into an uncontrolled sell-off caused a surge of buyer interest. As a result, the price quickly jumped to 28,000 - in the region of last week's highs.

From above, Bitcoin was subjected to a sell-off on the rise to its 200-week average and 200-day average but received new buyers on a dip to its 50-day average last week. Now, all eyes are on the ability to develop gains on rallies above $28K. Bitcoin seems to be sandwiched between two important moving averages. Our eyes are now on its momentum near those curves, and we are closely watching the behaviour near $28K.

An additional bullish signal is that the crypto market's volumes are growing along with the price, i.e., significant purchases are taking place. As a rule, such purchases confirmed by volumes can often be followed by a continuation of growth.

News background
