Lower support is seen around $34,000-$36,000, which is the middle of a two-month range.
- The relative strength index (RSI) on the four-hour chart is declining from an extreme overbought reading on Monday. A lower high on the RSI indicates a bearish divergence, which could stall bitcoin’s short-term uptrend.
- Initial support is seen at the 50-period moving average on the four-hour chart, currently at $36,000. Lower support is around $32,000-$34,000, which could stabilize a pullback.
- The intermediate-term trend is improving with a significant loss of downside momentum over the past few weeks. Buyers could remain active at lower support levels, although a breakout above $40,000-$45,000 is needed to resume the long-term uptrend.
More For You
KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
