A daily close above $52K and…? Here’s what a long-term Bitcoin rally needs
Bitcoin’s price rallied exponentially on 28 February, with the same fueling an explosion in alts’ values. While this move is bullish in the short-term, the bull rally over a high time frame (HTF) perspective has not kick-started yet.

The primary targets include $40,377 – Indicating an 8.6% downswing from its press time position. In some cases, BTC could head as low as $38,895 – The upper limit of the daily demand zone ranging up to $36,398.
For now, the short-term bearish outlook is limited to $36,398. A bounce off the aforementioned demand zone will likely trigger another run-up that attempts to shatter the weekly supply zone.
