Bitcoin Analysis

BTC maintained positions above the 50-day and 200-day EMAs. A breakthrough above the $37,600 resistance level and Thursday’s high of $38,020 could propel BTC towards the $40,000 mark. However, a drop below the $36,400 support level may bring the $35,265 support level into play. With the 14-Daily RSI reading at 79.54, BTC sits in overbought territory, indicating potential selling pressure without favorable BTC-spot ETF-related news.
