- Since the rejection from $50,648, buyers kept Bitcoin price above the 100-day SMA near $46,000.

Bitcoin has remained lethargic in its trading since last week. The rejection from $50,548 left investors dejected because their expectation was for BTC to climb past $55,000 and close August near $60,000.
However, the bellwether cryptocurrencyBitcoin (BTC) Price Stalls At Major Resistance, Is a Minor Correction On Cards? trimmed gains heading toward $46,000. The 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) support, holding slightly above $46,000, has been instrumental, ensuring that losses did not stretch further.
Bitcoin Price Gradually Builds Momentum For Ultimate Takeoff
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is teetering marginally above $46,000. The homestretch to $50,000 seems near yet challenging to achieve, especially with multiple short-term sell signals.
The moving Average Convergence Divergence (NACD) indicator calls on investors to offload their bags. This sell signal was reinforced on August 26 as Bitcoin retreated from areas above $50,000. As the technical tool closes in on the mean line, Bitcoin will likely trigger another selloff below the 100-day SMA.
Hence, bulls must keep the 100-day SMA intact to ensure that losses are not extended. Trading below $46,000 may leave BTC more vulnerable as the existing FOMO in the market shifts into panic selling.
On the upside, a daily close above $48,000 will cement the bullsā presence in the market. As Bitcoin gains traction to $50,000, FOMO is bound to push the price higher and perhaps confirm a colossal swing toward $60,000.
