Bitcoin levels to watch as BTC price rejects at key $25K trendline

cointelegraph.com:

Bitcoin (BTC) climbed back above $24,000 at the Feb. 17 Wall Street open as analysis favored “consolidation and continuation” higher.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD recovering some overnight losses after dipping to $23,369 on Bitstamp.

The pair had hit fresh six-month highs the day prior, these facing stiff resistance in the form of two weekly moving averages (MAs) and a heavy sell wall.

Scott Melker, the trader and podcast host known as “The Wolf Of All Streets,” stressed the importance of levels acting as lines in the sand for bulls.

“$25,212. I’ve been screaming about this number for weeks. A break above (ideally close) makes a higher high for the first time since $69,000,” he tweeted about the weekly chart on Feb. 16.

Investigating activity on exchanges, monitoring resource Material Indicators identified bid support inching higher, taking spot price with it.

“The notorious BTC buy wall we’ve been tracking for 5 weeks just strategically moved again, this time just above the 21-Day Moving Average,” it noted alongside a chart.

Accompanying data from the Binance BTC/USD order book also showed resistance laddered up to $25,600 — well above the site of the 200-week MA, which flipped from support to resistance last August.

Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe was upbeat on the outlook, meanwhile, calling for “consolidation and continuation.”

“Bitcoin sees a sweep of the high and rejects a little there, but that doesn’t mean we’ll go to $12K,” he reasoned in a tweet on the day.

A chart flagged $22,800 as the key area for bulls to hold should BTC/USD opt to print a higher low (HL) next.
