Today, April 2, Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) shook off the “death cross” signal seen last week and managed to hold a price of around $7,000, after dropping down to about $6,500 during Easter Weekend. A “death cross” signal occurs when the 50-day moving average crosses below the 200-day moving average, and this is generally regarded as a negative signal. The coin was trading at near $8,000 this time last week.

Nevertheless, several analysts remain positive on the mid-term trend of Bitcoin (available on Coinbase). Cryptocurrency trader Nick Cote claimed that Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) could test the $7,700 level in the upcoming days, and if it sustains its momentum, it could move back to the $8,000 region.

BTC On Short-Term Bull Run, Major Support Set At $6,875
