$BTC
Bitcoin price trades around $71,000 on Wednesday, having recovered slightly so far this week. The near-term bias remains neutral, with a slight bullish tilt, as price holds above the mid-point of a channel near $69,000. However, BTC trades well below the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages clustered around $72,160 and $78,000, respectively, so the broader trend remains under pressure despite the recent rebound inside the channel.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart at 52 sits just above its midline, hinting at stabilizing momentum rather than a trending move. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator has turned back into positive territory, with the MACD line edging above its signal line and a modestly positive histogram, suggesting fading bearish pressure but not yet a decisive upside breakout.
Initial support emerges near $69,000, the midpoint of the channel, followed by a deeper level around $65,900 that aligns with the lower part of the consolidation range. A break below this area would trigger deeper losses toward $60,000, a key psychological level.
On the upside, immediate resistance lies at $72,160, the 50-day EMA, followed by $72,600, the former channel top. A daily close above this zone would strengthen the bullish case toward the March 17 high of $76,000.
