3: Technical roundup

Weekly roundup presented to you by IA crypto | Ijaz Awan:

A yo-yo week for $BTC sees it continuing to consolidate beneath the all important $29k level. This level is proving to be a stalemate area for bulls and bears and winning this level will set a clear direction of travel for the coming weeks.

This week saw $BTC open up just shy of $28k before falling sharply to 26.5k. The rest of the week saw a slow gradual reclaim back into the $28,000 region.

As we can see on the Daily chart, Bitcoin continues to hold support above the channel which we broke from which is hugely bullish. A final push beyond the $29k stalemate, could signal a sharp climb into the early $30-33k region on cryptos flagship. However, another rejection could signal a more significant, yet still temporary, pullback down to the 25-26k could still be in play.

On the weekly, as long as we close this candle at current levels, we will have continued to remain above our Weekly EMA ribbon a good sign of consolidation after the huge 28% weekly candle we had 2 weeks ago.

We now head into an important macroeconomic week for markets with Labour figures set to be released.

Tuesday 4th April = JOLTS Job Openings

Wednesday 5th April = ADP Private Job Reports

Friday 7th April = Non Farm Payrolls

We will be covering each of these releases and it's impact on markets on my channel (https://youtube.com/@ijaz).
