Bitcoin (BTC) bounced back above the $30.000 level on Tuesday after a volatile trading session. Buyers quickly jumped into action when oversold conditions appeared on intraday charts. The next resistance level is seen around $36.000, which could limit the rally further.
The world's largest cryptocurrency by market value was trading around $34.000 so far and has risen 9% in the past 24 hours.
- Tuesday's nearly 10% price drop was typical of a shakeout, which signals a period of market turmoil when sellers capitulate.
- Bitcoin's two-month downtrend looks exhausted after the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart registered a higher low. This means buyers can remain active towards higher resistance levels.
- The RSI on the four-hour chart is not yet overbought, although bitcoin is still below the 100-period moving average, suggesting resistance can be found at $36.000.
- Stronger resistance is seen at $40.000, which is near the upper limit of a one-month range.
