Meanwhile, Altcoin Sherpa (@AltcoinSherpa), a crypto trader, tweeted this morning that BTC is on the verge of establishing a bullish 1D EMA trend. The trader added that the market has not seen a bullish 1D EMA trend since November of 2021.

$BTC: I want to reemphasize that we have not seen a bullish 1D EMA trend since November of 2021.

We just about have one now.

We also haven't seen a 1D close above 25k since June 2022.

We could see that today.

Send it to 30k if so.#Bitcoin #BTC pic.twitter.com/bWYnqpKKsm
