#Bitcoin is currently showing weakness. Broke back in the range, lost one of the crucial levels.Final crucial level is at $27,600. Could take liquidity beneath, but needs a fast recovery. If not, and no break of $28,800, then I suspect we'll see $26,200. pic.twitter.com/TuCaFq8eIk— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) April 21, 2023

Analyst’s other predictions. On April 16, Van de Poppe reported that he expects the bitcoin rate to rise to $38 000-$40 000. In the long term, the asset could resume its uptrend if it reaches $29 800.

On April 6, the analyst predicted the growth of the rate of BTC to $50 000 in the coming months. He pointed out that the crypto market capitalization is above the 200-week exponential moving average (EMA) and the 200-week moving average (MA).

Moving Average is one of the most commonly used types of technical indicators, showing the average value of an asset’s price for a certain time period. When calculating EMA, in contrast to the simple MA, more recent data have more weight.
