Bitcoin dices with $46K as Elon Musk Twitter buy sends Dogecoin near 2-month highs
Bitcoin (BTC) traded in uncertain territory on April 4 as the Wall Street open failed to unleash bullish continuation.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD dipping above and below the $46,000 mark Monday, continuing a low-volatility few days.
The pair had managed to seal a second week near the 2022 yearly open, with analysts already hoping for a breakout to $50,000 or even beyond.
At the time of writing, however, there was still no sign of such an outcome, while Bitcoin stuck to an increasingly narrow low-timeframe trading range.
"Bitcoin is not really clear to me; it could be because of a very slow weekend which is disturbing a bit my view," popular trader Crypto Ed summarized in his latest YouTube update on the day.
Highlighting a falling diagonal resistance trendline, Crypto Ed reasoned that a potential pullback could come as early as Monday, resulting in Bitcoin reversing to $44,800 or deeper to near $43,000 should that not hold
The diagonal, he added, was keeping $50,000 out of reach for the time being.
Fellow trader and podcast host Scott Melker was tentatively hopeful, noting that Bitcoin was being rejected at the 200-day moving average.
"Rejected at the 200, meandering down to $45,500; we should be heading up," he said in a Twitter broadcast Monday.
Melker was referring to the Bitcoin 2022 event in Miami from April 6-9, a major gathering of some of the Bitcoin world's best-known names.
On altcoins, the pack was led by Dogecoin (DOGE) on the day, which outpaced all the major cryptocurrencies thanks to a classic publicity boost from Tesla CEO, Elon Musk.
