# Bitcoin Steady at $93,500 Amidst Strong Market Activity Bitcoin (BTC) holds firm at $93,500, showing resilience amid robust trading volumes. Its market capitalization has surged to $1.85 trillion, and trading volume over the past 24 hours hit $58.72 billion. Bitcoin's trading range spanned from $88,499 to $94,510, driven by significant buying momentum. # Short-Term Resistance at $95,000; Mixed Hourly Chart Signals Per NewsBTC, Bitcoin tested resistance just below $95,000 on the one-hour chart, marking a challenging level. Analysts point to a mix of small green Doji candles and minor red candles, making short-term trends difficult to predict. A decline in trading volume indicates potential buyer fatigue, raising discussions about a possible short-term pullback. Key support is in the $92,500-$93,000 range, deemed a suitable entry point for buyers. However, a dip below this range could signal a bearish reversal, analysts warn. # Four-Hour Chart Shows Uptrend, Warns of Profit-Taking The four-hour chart reflects a classic uptrend with higher highs and higher lows. However, increased trading volume near $94,000 suggests profit-taking by some investors. Analysts believe the $91,000-$92,000 range could be a re-entry point following a brief correction. Price targets are set at $96,000 and $98,000, but recent bearish engulfing candles indicate a potential short-lived pullback. # Daily Chart Exhibits Strong Bullish Momentum Above $90,000 Bitcoin shows sustained bullish momentum on the daily chart, rebounding sharply from its previous low of $74,434. The break above $90,000 was accompanied by a surge in trading volume, forming a large green candle indicating an upward trend. The previous ideal buy zone of $85,000-$86,000 has passed, and partial profit-taking is suggested near the $95,000 resistance level. Stop-loss levels are advised at $88,000 to guard against volatility. # Technical Indicators Reveal Overbought Conditions Technical indicators show mixed signals. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 68, near overbought territory, and the Stochastic Oscillator is elevated at 95. The Commodity Channel Index (CCI) stands at 244, suggesting high demand. Meanwhile, the Average Directional Index (ADX) is at a modest 19, indicating weak trend strength. The Awesome Oscillator (3878) shows positive momentum, while the Momentum Oscillator (9978) and MACD (1629) support a bullish outlook, indicating potential for further upside. Moving averages for 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, and 200-day timeframes remain upward, providing solid support against corrections. Analysts see this as evidence that any sell-off may encounter strong resistance, limiting downside risk. # SEC Initiates New Digital Asset Regulation Under Paul Atkins On April 21, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) named Paul Atkins as its 34th chairman following nomination by President Trump and Senate approval on April 9. Atkins, a former SEC commissioner (2002-2008), aims to create a safe investment environment in the U.S. Atkins' inaugural speech emphasized the need for a clear regulatory framework for digital assets, addressing long-standing cryptocurrency sector concerns. With experience from founding Patomak Global Partners, a digital asset advisory firm, Atkins brings market infrastructure and financial regulation expertise. During his previous SEC tenure, Atkins prioritized regulatory transparency, rigorous cost-benefit analysis, and clear standards. His background includes overseeing the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) during the financial crisis and participating in U.S.-EU economic dialogues. The industry broadly welcomes Atkins' appointment, though some express caution. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that “common sense is returning.” However, critics highlight Atkins' past ties to cryptocurrency firms, warning they may impact investor protection measures.
