  • Bitcoin returned above the 100-day moving average, which should stabilize selling pressure.
  • The broader uptrend is weakening but price will have to stay above $40,000 to maintain a bullish outlook.
  • Resistance is seen around the 50-day volume-weighted moving average around $45,000, which could limit price recoveries over the short term.
