The cryptocurrency market has been seeing some major shift in coin positions as Bitcoin [BTC], which started the initial market crash, has slowly begun to climb back up in terms of price.

1-hour

The one-hour chart shows that Bitcoin prices have slowly started a sideways movement after a substantial uptrend. The uptrend lifted the prices from $3,744.4 to $4,313. The support for the cryptocurrency has been holding at $3,598.53 while the immediate resistance is still at $4,578.14.

The Relative Strength Index has stayed in the middle of the graph after crashing from the overbought zone. This signifies that the buying pressure has come down to form an even match with the selling pressure.

The Chaikin Money Flow indicator has fallen below the zero line which is a bearish signal. The slight spike on the graph is due to a sudden influx of money into the Bitcoin ecosystem.
