Bitcoin is trying to break through the ceiling

Market picture

The stock market’s upbeat mood brought the price of bitcoin back to the upper limit of the March trading range. In the low-liquid market early in the morning, Bitcoin picked up a wave of stops moving from $28.5K to $29.1K in minutes. It soon got the reverse traction with the same speed, dropping to $28.0K before entering a smoother intraday uptrend.

The morning breakdown of $29.0K was false, and it is better to wait for a more solid fixation above it to talk about the beginning of a new growth impulse. A potential upside target within the formation is the area near $35K (161.8% of the initial move). However, already near $30K, BTCUSD may face short-term selling pressure.

The XRP token has tested highs since May 2022 above $0.58. So far this week, it has gained more than 20% amid hopes of an optimistic outcome of the Ripple Labs litigation with the SEC and the CFTC calling the leading cryptocurrencies commodities.
