Bitcoin is trying to break through the ceiling
|Market picture
The stock market’s upbeat mood brought the price of bitcoin back to the upper limit of the March trading range. In the low-liquid market early in the morning, Bitcoin picked up a wave of stops moving from $28.5K to $29.1K in minutes. It soon got the reverse traction with the same speed, dropping to $28.0K before entering a smoother intraday uptrend.
The morning breakdown of $29.0K was false, and it is better to wait for a more solid fixation above it to talk about the beginning of a new growth impulse. A potential upside target within the formation is the area near $35K (161.8% of the initial move). However, already near $30K, BTCUSD may face short-term selling pressure.
The XRP token has tested highs since May 2022 above $0.58. So far this week, it has gained more than 20% amid hopes of an optimistic outcome of the Ripple Labs litigation with the SEC and the CFTC calling the leading cryptocurrencies commodities.
