BTC/USD 4-hour chart – BTC spikes to $35,000
On the 4-hour chart, we can see the BTC price action momentum shifting overnight as a new swing low was established yesterday.
The overall market continues to move in a bearish momentum as another push lower was seen over the past few days. However, over the past weeks, some signs of recovery were established as the market could not move any lower and support was found at the $30,000 mark in the middle of May
From there, the BTC price failed to set further lower lows, indicating that bears are exhausted and we can expect the overall several-week trend to reverse later this month. Additionally, for the past week, BTC/USD traded in an increasingly tighter range, indicating that bulls are preparing for further upside later this month.
However, a quick spike lower was seen on the 7th of May, signalling that the market is still not ready to reverse higher. Another lower low was set around the $31,000 mark, from which BTC started to move higher overnight. Therefore, BTC should see further upside later today to test the resistance area around $35,000.
BTC Price Analysis: Conclusion
BTC price analysis is bullish as the market has established a new swing low after a strong push lower over the past days. Therefore, we can expect BTC/USD to retrace some of the loss seen over the past days and establish a lower high as the overall market price structure has turned bearish again.
