Grayscale Bitcoin Trust

Bitcoin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BTC</a>) witnessed increased volatility last week. The price recovered from an intraweek low of about $56,500 to finish above $64,000, a marginal gain of roughly 1.5% over the previous week. This shows that the sentiment remains positive, and lower levels are being purchased by the bulls.
According to Farside Investors data, the spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded net inflows of $378 million on May 3. Particularly encouraging was the <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/grayscale-gbtc-inflows-record-bitcoin-exchange-traded-fund-etf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$63 million inflow into the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust</a> ETF, its first since its conversion into a spot Bitcoin ETF in January. Although it is too early to tell, early signs suggest that the incessant selling in the GBTC could end.

Bitcoin’s recovery in 2024 has helped the sector attract venture capital funding in excess of $1 billion for two consecutive months in March and April, according to RootData. This was the first such occasion since October through November 2022.
What are the important resistance levels to watch out for in Bitcoin and altcoins? Let’s analyze the charts to find out.
<h2 id="sp-500-index-price-analysis">S&amp;P 500 Index price analysis</h2>
The bears are struggling to sustain the S&amp;P 500 Index below the moving averages, indicating solid buying at lower levels.

</figure>
If buyers sustain the price above the 50-day simple moving average (5,131), it will signal that the corrective phase may be over. The index may attempt a rally to the all-time high at 5,265, where the bulls are likely to encounter strong selling by the bears.
If the price turns down sharply from 5,265, the index may enter a range for a few days. On the other hand, a break above 5,265 will indicate the resumption of the uptrend. The index may attempt a rally to 5,500. The important support on the downside is 5,000 and then 4,950.
<h2 id="u-s-dollar-index-price-analysis">U.S. Dollar Index price analysis</h2>
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) turned down from the 106.50 overhead resistance on May 1, indicating that the bears are fiercely defending the level.

 </figcaption>
</figure>
The bears pulled the price below the 20-day EMA (105.43) on May 2 and extended the fall to the 50-day SMA (104.56) on May 3. Lower levels attracted solid buying by the bulls, as seen from the long tail on the May 3 candlestick.
If the price turns down from the 20-day EMA, it will increase the likelihood of a drop to the support line of the ascending channel. On the other hand, a break above the 20-day EMA could propel the price toward 106.50.
<h2 id="bitcoin-price-analysis">Bitcoin price analysis</h2>
Bitcoin surged above the 20-day EMA ($63,556) after a minor hesitation, but the bulls could not pierce the 50-day SMA ($65,937).

 <figcaption style="text-align: center;">BTC/USDT daily chart. Source: <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=BINANCE%3ABTCUSDT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TradingView</a>
 </figcaption>
</figure>
Both moving averages have flattened out, and the RSI is near the midpoint, indicating a range-bound action in the near term. The BTC/USDT pair is likely to remain between $56,500 and $73,777 for some more time.
A break and close above the 50-day SMA could attract further buying, which could push the pair to the pivotal level of $73,777. The bulls are expected to face formidable resistance at this level because if it breaks down, the pair may start the next leg of the uptrend to $80,000.
<h2 id="ether-price-analysis">Ether price analysis</h2>
Ether (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ethereum-price" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) broke out of the 20-day EMA ($3,143) on May 6, but the long wick on the candlestick shows strong selling by the bears.

 </figcaption>
</figure>
The sellers will try to build upon their strength and pull the price down to the vital support at $2,850. This is an important level to keep an eye on because a drop below it could result in a decline to the support line of the descending channel.
This negative view will be invalidated in the near term if the price turns up from the current level and soars above the resistance line. Such a move will suggest a potential trend change. The ETH/USDT pair may then rise to $3,730.
<h2 id="bnb-price-analysis">BNB price analysis</h2>
BNB (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/binance-coin-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BNB</a>) rose above the moving averages on May 3, signaling that the bulls are trying to push the price to the overhead resistance of $635.
<figure><img src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2024-05/247550b1-2833-4972-81e1-37cf43c450f6.png">

 </figcaption>
</figure>
The bears have successfully protected the $635 level on four previous occasions, hence they will try to do the same again. If the price turns down sharply from the overhead resistance, it will suggest that the BNB/USDT pair may oscillate between $495 and $635 for a while longer.
A break and close above $635 will indicate the resumption of the uptrend. The pair may then climb to $692, where the buyers may face stiff resistance. On the way down, the bears will have to sink and maintain the price below $495 to seize control.
<h2 id="solana-price-analysis">Solana price analysis</h2>
Solana (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/solana-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SOL</a>) has been trading between $126 and $162 for several days, indicating indecision about the next directional move.
<figure><img src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2024-05/2186a58d-170f-4a77-a2c0-4e810c281fc4.png">
 <figcaption style="text-align: center;">SOL/USDT daily chart. Source: <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=BINANCE%3ASOLUSDT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TradingView</a>
 </figcaption>
</figure>
The flattish 20-day EMA ($146) and the RSI just above the midpoint suggest that the range-bound action may continue for some more time. If the price maintains above the 20-day EMA, the SOL/USDT pair could rally to the overhead resistance at $162. Buyers may find it difficult to overcome this obstacle.
However, if the bulls bulldoze their way above $162, the pair may accelerate toward $205. This level is likely to act as a formidable resistance. On the downside, a break below the 20-day EMA could sink the pair to $126.
<h2 id="xrp-price-analysis">XRP price analysis</h2>
The bulls have pushed XRP (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/xrp-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a>) above the 20-day EMA ($0.53) on May 6, indicating that the corrective phase may be ending.
<figure><img src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2024-05/bd92c9a7-f51b-4176-b6b7-b2c9d8c7bb48.png">

 </figcaption>
</figure>
The flattish 20-day EMA and the RSI just above the midpoint suggest a balance between supply and demand. This advantage will tilt in favor of the bulls if they drive the price above the 50-day SMA ($0.56). The XRP/USDT pair could then pick up momentum and climb to the stiff resistance at $0.67.
The bears are likely to have other plans. They will try to protect the 50-day SMA and pull the price back below the 20-day EMA. If they do that, the pair may plummet toward the crucial support zone between $0.46 and $0.41.

<h2 id="toncoin-price-analysis">Toncoin price analysis</h2>
Toncoin (TON) rose above the moving averages on May 3, indicating that the lower levels are attracting strong buying by the bulls.
<figure><img src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2024-05/65bc6604-2e2c-47fa-96ff-2c793786caa8.png">

 </figcaption>
</figure>
The relief rally is likely to face selling in the zone between the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of $6.13 and the 61.8% retracement level of $6.49. If the price turns down from the overhead zone, the bears will try to strengthen their position by pulling the TON/USDT pair below the moving averages. That could tug the price to the pivotal support at $4.72.
On the contrary, if the price breaks above $6.49, it will signal sustained buying at higher levels. That could open the doors for a possible rise to $7.24 and thereafter to $7.67.
<h2 id="dogecoin-price-analysis">Dogecoin price analysis</h2>
Dogecoin’s (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/doge-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DOGE</a>) recovery is facing selling at the 50-day SMA ($0.17), but a minor advantage in favor of the bulls is that they have not allowed the price to slip below the 20-day EMA ($0.15).
<figure><img src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2024-05/6c109d7f-90a6-4d26-abd9-7ba5b85c4e13.png">

 </figcaption>
</figure>
If the price maintains above the 20-day EMA, the bulls will take another shot at the 50-day SMA. The repeated retest of a resistance level tends to weaken it. If this level is taken out, the DOGE/USDT pair could start a rally to $0.21.
If bears want to prevent the upside move, they will have to quickly pull the price back below the 20-day EMA. If they do that, it will suggest that the bears remain active at higher levels. The pair may then drop to $0.12.
<h2 id="cardano-price-analysis">Cardano price analysis</h2>
Cardano (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/ada-price-index" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ADA</a>) once again turned down from the 20-day EMA ($0.47) on May 6, indicating that the bears continue to defend the level aggressively.
<figure><img src="https://s3.cointelegraph.com/uploads/2024-05/928dade0-cc02-4bd8-aefb-c7e593acd64b.png">
 <figcaption style="text-align: center;">ADA/USDT daily chart. Source: <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=BINANCE%3AADAUSDT" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">TradingView</a>
 </figcaption>
</figure>
The bulls are trying to defend the $0.46 support because if this level breaks down, the ADA/USDT pair could retest the crucial support at $0.40. Buyers are expected to fiercely defend this level.
Contrary to this assumption, if the price turns up from the current level and breaks above the 20-day EMA, it will signal that the selling pressure is reducing. The pair could then attempt a rally to the overhead resistance at $0.57.
