BeInCrypto presents our daily morning roundup of crypto news and market changes that you might have missed while you were asleep.
Bitcoin update
BTC has been increasing since May 19, when it reached a local low of $30,000. On May 23, it created a higher low and followed it up with a bullish engulfing candlestick.
Since then, it’s managed to reach a daily high close of $40,600. The main resistance levels are found at $41,200 and $48,175. These are the 0.382 and 0.618 Fib retracement levels from the most recent drop.
Technical indicators provide some bullish signs. The MACD has generated three higher momentum bars. However, due to the bearish candlestick close yesterday, it did not generate a bullish reversal signal.
The RSI has crossed above 30 after generating a bullish divergence. While the Stochastic oscillator has yet to make a bullish cross, it has begun to move upwards.
Therefore, while the reversal is not confirmed, there are several bullish signs developing.
