$32,000, $35,000 flagged as lines in the sand

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed the largest cryptocurrency consolidating near that $30,600 at the time of writing after hitting highs of $30,900 on Bistamp.

Its best performance since May 16, the return to relative strength was welcomed by analysts, some of whom began to discuss the possibility of a range breakout.

“Finally, Bitcoin is making the run upwards,” Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe told Twitter followers.

“Some more consolidation here and we’re ready to break further upwards in which $32.8K and $35K are the resistances. The moment that the market gets to $35K, that’s the point where I’m expecting everyone to turn bullish.”

Fellow trader and analyst Rekt Capital agreed, requiring at least $32,000 to break and hold for a change of trend.

To the downside, meanwhile, Van de Poppe highlighted the area near the May 29 weekly close as crucial support to now hold.

That weekly close had remained disappointing, marking the ninth red candle in a row for BTC/USD.

Adopting a conservative perspective, trading account TXMC Trades was unsure of Bitcoin’s ability to crack the range while United States markets were off for the Memorial Day holiday.
