“#BTC must break the downtrend resistance band’ AKA Uptrend Suspension Band and then keep it as support. This is a cry wolf move. Uptrend Support Band: $43,564 to $46,265
Independent market analyst, “Crypto_Ed_NL”, agreed with this sentiment. He suggested additional sideways trading in and below.

“No, this theory isn’t new Elliott Wave… It’s what it is that I believe is next. Pump-range-pump-dump-range-dump-range-pump.”
It is not a good idea to be too confident!
Delphi Digital analysts noted that Bitcoin is now rubbing up against the “simple trendsline connecting the local highs of December 2021 to February 2022.”

Delphi Digital says that now that BTC has risen above $40,000 traders should “look out for this level between $42,500 and $43,000 to be tested.” This is exactly what happened in March 9th.
Delphi Digital said:
“Contrarian sentiment analysis can be a good place for you to start looking for trades similar to the recent rally in prices above the $34,000 lows. However, we warn that the worsening macro- and global backdrop is still a crucial consideration for market performance at the moment.”
