The 4-hour chart for BTC/USDT shows how the price of BTC briefly crossed the $30K resistance/support line. However, as has been the case in recent weeks, the BTC price was unable to hold above the $30K line for long as investors and traders pushed BTC down to $29K.
The bulls immediately seized the opportunity, as there had already been a small upward movement in the last 4-12 hours. The RSI has also dropped well below the RSI SMA line, but seems to be approaching the RSI SMA again in this short move. Are the bulls making another attempt to test resistance at $30K? The RSI and the buying volume of the last 3 candles suggest so.
