Bitcoin turns bullish
Bitcoin has managed to recover from last month’s downtrend as its price rose above the $43,000 mark again.
According to CoinMarketCapBTC has risen by more than 3% in the past seven days. At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $43,098.66 with a market cap of over $845 billion.
The next BTC halving is just 2 months away. Historically, the price of BTC has risen significantly a few months after each halving, suggesting that investors could see BTC reach new highs by the end of 2024.
However, the latest data showed that there was a chance BTC‘s value increases even before the halving.
Caleb Franzen, a popular crypto analyst, recently revealed in a tweet that BTC’s 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) and 200-day simple moving average (SMA) were moving higher.
Bitcoin’s 200-day moving average cloud has now risen to:
🔵 200-day EMA = $36,050
🔴 200-day SMA = $34,110This range is valid dynamic support, as it has already been.
My expectation is that cloud will rise rapidly in April 2024 as the price bottomed out in September 2023. pic.twitter.com/jMX1IevCrp

If BTC manages to maintain its uptrend, it will need to break above a few resistance zones before reaching $50,000.
