Bitcoin (BTC/USD) awaited fresh technical cues early in the Asian session as the pair has been unable to sustain modest upside traction that saw it recently test the 43395 area, a level that represents the 50% retracement of the recent depreciating range from 48240 to 38550. Traders reduced risk exposure during the ensuing retreat and elected Stops below the 41367.75, 40829.74, and 40291.72 areas during the depreciation, representing the 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% retracements of the recent appreciating range from 38550 to 43109.47.   Buying pressure slowed the pullback around the 39744 area, above the 76.4% retracement of the same appreciating range. Recent relative highs around the 48240 level gave way to stronger selling pressure around the 47469, 44000, 43443, and 41570 areas, downward pressure that saw the pair give back about half of the multi-week gains it tallied since trading as low as the 32933.33 area in late January.Â
Upside technical resistance and areas of potential selling pressure include the 43380, 43564, and 44000 levels. Additional downside price objectives include the 39068, 38832, 38602, 38333, 38062, 37958, 37450, 37151, 37032, 36940, 36302, and 35995 levels. Recent price activity has seen BTC/USD test the 38780.48 area, a level that represents the 61.8% retracement of the appreciating range from 32933.33 to 48240. This relative low was also just below the 39600 area, an upside price objective related to historical buying pressure that emerged around the 29301.56 area. Traders are observing that the 50-bar MA (4-hourly) is bearishly indicating below the 100-bar MA (4-hourly) and below the 200-bar MA (4-hourly). Also, the 50-bar MA (hourly) is bullishly indicating above the 100-bar MA (hourly) and above the 200-bar MA (hourly).
