Bitcoin Stays Strong After Yesterday’s Upside Move

Bitcoin is currently trying to settle above the 20 EMA at $47,100 while other cryptocurrencies are mostly flat as traders wait for the results of this test. Ethereum is testing the resistance at $3,400. Dogecoin is trying to settle back above $0.24 while XRP is stuck near $1.09.

Bitcoin has been volatile in recent trading sessions after a fake press release stated that Walmart would partner with Litecoin. This press release was quickly refuted, and Bitcoin found itself under pressure.

However, Bitcoin received support near $44,000 and gained upside momentum as traders rushed to purchase Bitcoin after the pullback. If Bitcoin manages to settle above the 20 EMA and moves closer to the psychologically important $50,000 level, other cryptocurrencies will get more support.
