A trader shows the importance of the 200 DMA for Bitcoin
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed that the BTC/USD pair experienced downward pressure when financial markets opened on April 5.
Therefore, the pair was more or less at the same level as 24 hours ago, with the interim period seeing volatility both higher and lower.
Amid a general lack of direction, traders and analysts waited to see where the largest cryptocurrency would go next.
Popular Twitter account CivEkonom was bullish, highlighting a CME futures gap at $54,000 as a potential target.
“Speaking of compressing and coiling. It might break, but you never know,” said as part of your comments for the day.
Crypto Rover noted the importance of the 200-day moving average that Bitcoin was trying to break. Historically, success in doing so has led to significant price gains, he noted.

Meanwhile, news that MicroStrategy had bought over 4,000 BTC failed to to offer enduring market strength, despite praise from commentators.
The company’s Bitcoin treasury thus stood at 129,218 BTC, which is still by far the largest in the world. However, as Cointelegraph reported, Blockchain Terra’s plans meant that its own stash should ultimately outstrip that of MicroStrategy and any other Bitcoin whales.
