Bitcoin is recovering this week and moving back above $29,000. Chain transactions are close to a new record, surpassing December 2017. A warning might be the monthly candlestick close.
Bitcoin continues to trade below the major resistance at $32,000 to $32500, which we have pointed out several times, already over the past few months.
Bitcoin is rising again this week
Last week was the worst in the first four months and was down -8.80%. It should be noted that April is a mixed month for BTC with bullish and bearish moves.
As of today, on a monthly basis, it is showing a slight increase of 3.16%, which contributes to a +77% increase from the beginning of the year. However, this figure is only the second in the top 20 in terms of coin market capitalization, as Solana is up 125% since the beginning of the year.
