Placed bets on $46,000
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, TradingView showed that BTC/USD rose $1650 from daily lows to almost matching the $41,700 high in March 16.
This move buoyed traders who started to strengthen their short-term view that levels near the top Bitcoin’s 2022 trading range were being challenged.
Pentoshi, a popular trader, said that such a result did not indicate that BTC/USD has ended its downtrend.
“Macro headwinds are still too strong, but midterm I think we rally before any shot at new or prev lows. He stated that he leans towards the up and down imo late Q2 to followers on Twitter.
Cold feet over micro conditions became a major concern this week, according to Cointelegraph. There were multiple predictions for a major drawdown in major assets, including BTC, this year.
Matthew Hyland, an analyst, noted that support was increasingly being offered by the $40,000 resistance.

2/ I will be using charts of #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, and the dominance #altcoins from the various past altseasons to determine when the next #altseason peak will occur.
