Bitcoin continues to consolidate above the $42,000 support level as short-term momentum improves. The cryptocurrency was trading around $45,900 at press time, which is near the 200-day moving average, and is up about 2% over the past 24 hours.

Buyers are returning, although upside appears to be limited towards $48,000 to $50,000 resistance over the short-term.
