Bitcoin trader eyes $38K dip as Cathie Wood confirms $1M BTC price target by 2030

cointelegraph.com:

Bitcoin (BTC) faced a new threat of a dip below $40,000 on April 8 as short timeframes failed to rescue bulls.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD consolidating in a range bounded by $44,000 prior to Friday’s Wall Street open.

The pair had reduced volatility after a comedown from 2022 highs during the week, but analysts warned that a return to the year’s established trading range was a clear next step.

“BTC is in the process of trying to turn the ~$43,100 area into support. If it fails to do that & ~$43K turns into resistance… BTC will confirm a return to the $38K-$43K range which was home to consolidation earlier this year,” popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital summarized in his latest Twitter update.

Also eyeing a fresh leg down was Crypto Ed, who flagged a failed breakout attempt at $44,000 as a signal for potential bearish continuation.

In a YouTube update on the day, he additionally highlighted $40,000 as the next logical bearish target.

Rekt Capital dealt a potential silver lining in the form of BTC/USD preserving its 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) after an earlier breakout — something which in times past had “preceded immense upside,” he noted.

The lackluster price performance accompanied the ongoing Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami, which despite various attention-grabbing speeches and announcements from big industry names failed to lift market sentiment.
