Bitcoin faces «pivotal» moment

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD passing $45,500 on April 1’s Wall Street open.

The pair had dipped to near $44,000 into the March monthly close, the pullback fuelled by a combination of macro factors and actions by large-volume wallets.

European stocks suffered on the day, thanks to Russia threatening to cut off gas supplies while a vote by European Union lawmakers to ban «unhosted» wallets further soured the mood.

While failing to spark a deeper retracement towards $40,000, the triggers left Bitcoin short of its all-important yearly open at $46,200 at the time of writing. This, in turn, left the door open for a return of the trading range in force since the beginning of 2022 with the yearly open as its ceiling.

«If we are supposed to go down, I think it’ll happen from here,» trader Crypto Ed summarized alongside a chart showing bullish and bearish continuations.

For popular Twitter account Material Indicators, short timeframes would be telling for the overall market trajectory.

Bitcoin had exited a rising wedge on the weekly chart, but had nonetheless failed to preserve the 50-week moving average (WMA) as support.

«Bitcoin is in a pivotal position,» it wrote on the day.

«Быки» BTC потеряли 50 WMA, но смогли вернуть себе R/S флип над этой структурой. Волатильность сохраняется по обе стороны диапазона. Следим за ретестами».
