Introduction
Recently, the European banking regulating sector is worried about getting specialized personnel who can oversee and regulate the crypto market in Europe. South African brokers can see the dilemma of the EBA (European Banking Authority) because they lack clarity regarding digital assets and how they should supervise, with crypto-related talent retention being a significant challenge following an interview with the EBA chairman by Financial Times.

BTCUSD: Technical Analysis
Monthly Chart
Monthly Resistance Levels: 49000, 32000, 25000.
Monthly Support Levels: 17600, 19000.
The BTCUSD pair has done about a 25% bullish rally at the time of writing this report. The bulls started pushing up the bitcoin price last week after a breach of the 19000 support level.
If the Bullish run can breakout above the 25000 resistance level, it will take the price towards the 32000 level of resistance.
The crypto brokers who have held their short position for months may start thinking of taking their profits as the market structure is likely to change soon.
Weekly Chart
Weekly Resistance Levels: $32000, $25000.
Weekly Support Levels: $17600, $18000.
Last trading week closed bullish having done a 15% run from its opening price before the price retraced after hitting a resistance zone. The zone shows that long-position traders are in the market, and they intend to breakout above the 25000 level of resistance as they hold on to their position. A price breakout will expose the next resistance level of the 32000-dollar mark, which will be significant for the cryptocurrency market.
However, the BTCUSD pair is still in a bearish state and the market is consolidating. A close below the support level of the 18000-dollar mark will take the price lower to the 15000-dollar level.
Daily Chart
Daily Support 17500
We expected the price of bitcoin to retest the 25000 and, 24000 levels, and we expected one of the two scenarios to happen around the zone. The breakout of the price above the resistance zones, or we get rejection of the price around the zone. However, we can see that the price was rejected around the resistance zone because the previous support level is now acting as resistance.
The BTCUSD pair may have a breakout above the current resistance level if the price of bitcoin can get another bullish surge with stronger momentum for the price of bitcoin to rise higher.
Looking at the daily chart, we can see that the BTCUSD pair is creating higher highs and higher lows, giving us an uptrend pattern. If the buying power is built over time, we may see the price of bitcoin rise again.
Bullish Scenario:
The bullish scenario that just played out was unable to breakout above the 24500 price level before it dropped lower to the 21000 level. If the price fails to close lower than the 20000 level mark, and we see bullish engulfing candles, the bullish rally will attract more buyers into the market for another rally to the upside.
Bearish Scenario:
The sell scenario played out as expected when the sellers dominated the market from the 24000 zones by taking the price of bitcoin down. The downtrend is likely to continue if the price of bitcoin can close below the $20000 level.
