Cryptocurrency Transactions Skyrocketing; Bitcoin Maintains the $46,000 Level

Bitcoin’s price is stuck around $46,000 and has not moved higher even though there is some strong momentum and buying. Over the past few months, Bitcoin has been moving up and down by up to 50%. This week, it managed to cross above the 40,000 marks after being below the level for about two months.

The cryptocurrency and blockchain market, in general, has risen to $8.7 billion in just the first half of 2021 compared to $4.3 billion in the whole of 2020. Cryptocurrency and blockchain are exploding worldwide as time goes on. It seems that cryptocurrency will be one of the top tickets for investors this year.

Bitcoin Treads Around the $46K Level

According to the Ichimoku indicator, Bitcoin is stuck in a confluence of cloud resistance across several high timeframes. The indicator signals when to buy or sell an asset, bullish or bearish signals, and identifies the support and resistance levels.

Bitcoin has held the 200-day moving average at $45.5K support making its way to around $46,000. At the moment, there are no signs of huge long-term holders selling. The current pullback can be viewed as a technical selling as price action touched a little overheated and overbought levels. The bulls need to protect the 200-day moving average as support to maintain the price.

This week is significant for bitcoin’s technicals. The bulls have to push BTC higher into the weekly close above the 21-week moving average, currently around $43,900, and the 1200-day moving average around $45,300. The action will set up one of the most bullish technical buy signals last experienced in April 2020.
