Bitcoin (BTC/USD) continued to endure weak technical sentiment early in today’s Asian session as the pair eyed a significant amount of upside technical resistance related to selling pressure that emerged around the 52100, 48574.70, and 47532.89 levels. Traders lifted BTC/USD to the 43000 figure in the North American session after traders recently tested bids around the 39650 level, its weakest print since September and a test of key technical support that represents the 50% retracement of the appreciating range from 3858 to 61788.45. Stops were elected above the 42661.26 level during the appreciation higher, representing the 38.2% retracement of the recent depreciating range from 47532.89 to 39650. Following BTC/USD’s peak around the 52100 level in late December, a series of lower highs and lower lows has led to a significant reduction in risk tolerance.
Stops were recently elected below a series of downside price objectives including the 46219.09, 45864.66, 45807.18, 44655.08, 44763.46, 43863.32, 43211.49, 43132.91, 42544.70, 42497.20, 41919.46, and 41583.39 levels.
