Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView data revealed that BTC/USD was just holding onto the $27,000 level on April 22, following a disappointing close to the Wall Street trading week.Despite US equities achieving minor gains on April 22, Bitcoin continued to struggle, with analysts cautioning about a possible drop towards $25,000.As a result, BTC/USD experienced a 10% weekly decline and a 4% decrease throughout April, based on data from the monitoring platform Coinglass. This marked a significant reversal of fortune compared to most of the first quarter.

"The last major retest we had was at 19k before our rally to 30k+. A retest of 25k here would be logical and healthy," he declared.

“Short-/mid-term still bullish (3 months), but don't expect it to go too fast.”
"Short term #Bitcoin price action seems grim, but behind the scenes, the Weekly RSI has broken out of a 6-year downtrend and is now attempting to make support," CryptoCon disclosed, drawing parallels between the current activity and previous halving cycles.
“Bitcoin is now at decision point. Continue 2019 parabolic price action, or take the healthier, steady 2015 approach?”
