Bitcoin (BTC) has been witnessing volatile moves in the past three days. The pick-up in volatility shows that the buyers and sellers are vying for supremacy.
Bitcoin recovered sharply on April 18 but gave back all the gains on April 19. The latest sell-off may have been triggered by the high inflation figures in the United Kingdom and the regulatory uncertainty in the United States. Profit booking was not limited to Bitcoin as most major altcoins also turned lower.

Bitcoin is witnessing a keen battle between the bulls and the bears at the 20-day exponential moving average ($29,092). The bears are trying to sink the price below the 20-day EMA while the bulls are attempting to start a strong rebound.
