Bitcoin plummeted below the $40,000 mark after taking a beating across the Easter weekend. Across that period, whales and other institutional investors rushed to buy the dip as they anticipated an incoming Bull Run that could be taking shape.
Since last week, Bitcoin outflows from crypto investment products and funds have hit $73 Million. Across April, the overall outflow is at over $196 Million.
The BTC/USD pair was embarking on a decent recovery wave as of press time. Price recovery action has pushed it above $38.5k, and it is currently trading at $38,565 – up by 1.8% over the last 24 hours.
Additionally, a short-term contracting triangle is building on the hourly timeframe of the BTC/USD pair, with resistance near $39k. To commence a significant upward surge, the pair now needs to break through the $39,100 and $39,600 resistance levels.
