Bitcoin is currently struggling to surpass the $60,000 mark, facing significant resistance that is hindering its price rebound, despite recovering up to 6.2% from the week’s lows. 
Analysis from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView highlights that BTC/USD has yet to breach crucial trendlines. 
The cryptocurrency has seen a 23% decline from its peak, with recovery prospects appearing slim through April and May. 
Former <a href="https://www.bitmex.com/" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="nofollow external noreferrer">BitMEX</a> CEO Arthur Hayes has predicted that Bitcoin will continue to trade within a range below $70,000 until August, emphasizing the importance of first reclaiming the $60,000 level. 
However, this mark remains well-defended by existing trendlines. 
Particularly challenging for Bitcoin is its 100-day moving average (MA), which, as of May 3, stands at $59,930. 
Historically, this trendline has supported the market since October 2023 and helped sustain prices during the early 2023 bull market phase.

Yet, recent patterns show Bitcoin closing full daily candles beneath this average, indicating a downward shift. 
Material Indicators, a trading resource, observed that this average is presenting strong technical resistance. 
They noted, “Reclaiming the 100-Day Moving Average would be a big deal for Bitcoin Bulls that could lead to a short squeeze,” as stated by co-founder Keith Alan on the social platform X. 
Another significant obstacle is the short-term holder realized price (STH-RP), which reflects the average cost basis for Bitcoin holders who have held their positions for 155 days or less. 
This metric has repeatedly acted as a robust support during recent weeks and throughout much of the bull market since early 2023. 
As of May 1, STH-RP was recorded at $59,684, closely aligning with the critical $60,000 resistance zone. 
Caleb Franzen, CEO of Cubic Analysts, also pointed out the significance of this resistance level in his commentary on X. 
He mentioned that for a ‘risk-on’ scenario, a daily closure above $61,000 is crucial. 
“Lots of work to do,” he concluded, underscoring the challenges that lie ahead for Bitcoin to regain its upward momentum.
