Bitcoin Range-Bound Above $35K-$37K Support; Resistance at $40K
The sideways price range could result in higher volatility over the next two weeks.
Bitcoin (BTC) remains in a tight trading range, although buyers maintained support at $37,500 over the weekend. Still, the cryptocurrency faces strong resistance beyond $40,000, which could limit additional upside over the short term.
BTC was trading at $38,700 at press time and is roughly flat over the past 24 hours.
The downward sloping 100-day moving average has kept the four-month downtrend intact. Recent sideways trading, however, could result in volatile price swings over the next two weeks.
