Cryptocurrency is experiencing a bounce back after a brief drop below a crucial support level. Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading around 27,400 USD, just below a key resistance level of 27,600 USD. The return of Call buyers has resulted in a fast-paced market fueled by May 18-26th $28,000-$29,000 Calls and $28,000-$30,000 Call spreads. Investors are still hoping for a break above the resistance levels to push the price further higher.
The recent surge in Call buying has increased the 7-14 day Implied Volatility (IV) after a weekend lull. This opportunity has been provided after the price tested the crucial support level of $27,300 multiple times. Failure to hold the level may lead to a decline in market confidence. Despite recent issues such as a 'fake' government wallet, investors are looking for signs of a rebuild in bitcoin’s bullish sentiment.
Currently, Bitcoin is facing resistance between the price range of $28,180 and $28,990 and has key support level at $26,490. A drop below this level could escalate into a steeper correction with a potential drop to $24,100 or $23,190. The weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) is attempting to make support at a critical line of 56, which could be a sign of future market stability.
The growing adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a store of value is also driving bullish sentiment. Many investors see it as a viable alternative to traditional investments thanks to low-interest rates and high inflation. There are now more than 1 million wallets holding at least 1 BTC, according to Satoshi Club, which is a significant milestone.
Looking ahead, Bitcoin will have to break past the 50-day Moving Average of 27,600 USD to push toward new highs. If there are market declines, the 200-day MA at 24,700 USD could serve as a significant threshold for the cryptocurrency. With signs of bullish sentiment still prevailing, the near future of Bitcoin’s price movement is very much in the hands of market participants.
