Bitcoin (BTC) barely held $27,000 on April 22 as another round of losses left bulls with little firepower.
Giant RSI support retest greets Bitcoin bulls
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD just preserving the $27,000 mark on the day after the Wall Street trading week ended on a sour note.
In contrast to United States equities, which managed to seal modest gains on the day, Bitcoin continued to suffer as analysts warned of a return to nearer $25,000.
With that, BTC/USD was down 10% for the week and 4% in April overall, according to data from monitoring resource Coinglass, amid a dramatic turnaround in fortunes versus much of Q1.

Crypto analyst CryptoCon delivered similar conclusions on the basis of the latest movements in Bitcoin’s relative strength index (RSI).
Used to determine overbought and oversold conditions at given price points, RSI can help offer insights into forthcoming price trends.
“Short term Bitcoin price action seems grim, but behind the scenes, the Weekly RSI has broken out of a 6-year downtrend and is now attempting to make support,” it revealed, comparing the latest action to prior halving cycles.
“Bitcoin is now at decision point. Continue 2019 parabolic price action, or take the healthier, steady 2015 approach?”
