Crypto News LIVE: Why Bitcoin Price Is Stuck Under $43,800 Key Range Resistance
After ceding ground above support at $43,000 on Wednesday, Bitcoin price struggles to resume the uptrend toward $50,000. On the downside, support areas seem to be weakening, with $42,000 expected to keep BTC from being accepted into the lower range to $40,000.
Altcoins are also facing increasing resistance starting with Ethereum’s 1.5% decline to $2,270. Solana is widening the gap below $100 after rising to $105 earlier this week.
With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) below its downtrend resistance, analysts at Rekt Capital suggest that Bitcoin will stay rangebound for the foreseeable future — possibly until the pre-halving rally begins. The RSI must break above the downtrend for BTC to move higher on the weekly chart.
