Analyzing the short-term configuration, popular trader Skew has shown persistent resistance/support on the four-hour chart.

He said the main trends to watch include the EMAs and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) score.

In a recent post by X (formerly Twitter), he wrote in part, “As long as the market maintains its current bullish momentum, I think the trend is still straight.”

“4H EMAs provide good short-term trend confirmations along with the RSI to accelerate the current trend and also when the clear current uptrend disappears. The key that often closes with these trends are daily open and weekly open.

As Cointelegraph continues to report, these interests continue to increase, with more and more BTC being bought daily by the nine ETF providers.
