Bitcoin (BTC) rose from deeply oversold levels over the past two days, indicating renewed buying after a sharp sell-off. The cryptocurrency faces initial resistance at $40,000-$43,000, which could stall the current price bounce.
BTC was trading around $38,000 at press time and is up 4% over the past 24 hours.

The relative strength index (RSI) on the daily chart is rising from extreme oversold levels, which could keep buyers active this week. On the weekly chart, the RSI is approaching oversold territory, similar to July 2021, which preceded a strong price rally.
Still, momentum signals remain very weak, indicating limited upside from here. That means buyers will need to make a decisive move above $40,000 to signal a recovery phase.
For now, the downtrend from November remains intact with immediate support at $37,000 and lower support at $30,000.

Robinhood misses Q4 revenue estimates as fourth-quarter results dinged by crypto slump
Crypto revenue fell 38% year over year to $221M, even as the company expanded token listings and crypto features across its platform.
What to know:
- Robinhood’s fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.66 topped estimates for $0.63, but revenue of $1.28 billion fell shy of forecasts for $1.33 billion.
- The crypto slump paid a large part in the miss, with crypto revenue falling 38% from a year earlier to $221 million.
- Robinhood’s results mirror broader crypto-market weakness, which is also expected to weigh on rival Coinbase (COIN), and HOOD shares fell about 7% in post-market trading after the earnings release.
