On-chain data from Santiment shows Bitcoin wallet activity continues to grow as it hits a new 5-month high in activities as the price of Bitcoin has failed to show promising moves in the past few weeks as price remains in a range below $26,500.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) price is yet to show signs of its impending halving in 2024 as many analysts and investors speculate the lower price action of Bitcoin in the present bear market is a cause for worry. It could lead to a different trend in Bitcoin price rally than in the past.
The price of Bitcoin continues to attract much attention, considering it would have had a big impact on the cryptocurrency market and the prices of other altcoins as its halving approaches in 6 months, around April of 2024.
Will Bitcoin price reclaim its previous all-time high of $69,000 and surpass its high of $200,000? This has been one of the talking points of many analysts despite recent high on-chain Bitcoin activities.
Although Bitcoin has shown a glimpse of its price action as price rallied from $16,000 to $32,000, price suffered a shocking decline as it struggled to break above its yearly high.
Compared to last week, the price of Bitcoin looks promising, above $26,500, as the price could aim to go higher to a region of $27,500 if the Bulls increase their activities, as bears have remained much dominant in the past few weeks.
The heat map above shows the current market state after a brief bounce in prices across all markets, with the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, SOL, XRP, and other weekly top 5 cryptocurrencies showing promising signs of a possible rally higher ahead of a new week.
Ahead of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the price of Bitcoin suffered a new price decline to a low of $24,800 as the price bounced from that region to a high of $25,800 ahead of the CPI. The price rallied further to a high of $26,800 after the CPI data was released, with BTC bulls holding the price above $26,500.
The price of Bitcoin, holding above $26,500, is a good sign for the bulls as the price could aim to break out from the bearish trend it has maintained for months now. The price of Bitcoin, between $25,000 and $26,500, could give bulls much time to break out into an uptrend.
BTC’s price trades below its 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (50-day and 200-day EMAs), indicating that the price needs to break higher and close above $27,500 for more bullish price movement.
The price of Bitcoin on the daily timeframe continues to hold above the 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement Value (61.8% FIB Value) and on other higher timeframes, indicating much advantage for the bulls as the price aims to go higher.
If the price of BTC closes below $24,500, this could be challenging for BTC bulls as bears would aim to push the price lower, but Bitcoin has shown incredible strength holding above $25,000.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on the daily timeframe show a trend change as bulls could push the price higher if $27,500 is reclaimed.
Bitcoin’s price movement has had much effect on Ethereum (ETH) as the price of ETH has remained in a range movement for weeks between the range of $1,570 to $1,650 as the price of Ethereum has failed to reclaim the high of $1,800 to resume its bullish price movement.
Ethereum price trades below its 50-day and 200-day EMAs, indicating that the price remains downtrend despite a short price bounce from $1,550. If the price of ETH holds above $1,500, there are higher chances of bulls flipping the highs of $1,800 into support.
Bitcoin and Ethereum’s price range has remained in the shadows of other top trending altcoins as many altcoins continue to rally with over 500% in weeks leading to key analysis of this week’s top 5 cryptocurrencies (TRB, SHIB, XRP, RNDR, MATIC) to watch.
