BTC/USD Daily Chart
The technical picture on the daily chart indicates a clear exit from the downtrend channel and a bullish reversal. With a minimal trading history in the current regions, the price may go up without much resistance. Recovery is, however, an uphill battle with the seller congestion at $40,000 unshaken except breached.
On the downside, support seems to have been stressed by the MA 50 at $32,000 as seen on the daily chart. The ongoing rebound has also been validated by the Relative Strength Index, as it levels past midline 50. Trading beyond $40,000 will sustain the uptrend, with the focus shifting to $50,000.

BTC/USD 4-Hour Chart
Bitcoin is appearing increasingly bullish on a 4-hour time frame as positive tones continue to spread through the wider cryptocurrency market. Technical analysis shows that the BTC/USD pair is likely to test towards the $40,000 level if the $38,700 level is broken. To the downside, a daily price close under the MA 200 and $34,960 level is now required to increase bearish pressure.
Traders that are bullish towards the BTC/USD need to see a daily price beyond the $39,000 level to consider staying in the current rally. The BTC/USD pair is only bullish while trading above the $35,000 level, key resistance is found at the $38,700 and the $40,000 levels. If the BTC/USD pair trades below the $35,000 level, sellers may test the $33,000 and $32,000 levels.
