Bitcoin (BTC) began to see much-welcomed volatility to the upside on Feb. 23 as European markets opened with modest upside.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD rapidly gaining Wednesday, hitting $39,000 before consolidating.
The pair had staged a steady comeback overnight, with progress totalling 6.8% versus Tuesday's lows.
"Seems I'm not getting that little pull back but continuation higher already. Doesn't change the structure really much. $40k is key level," popular trader Crypto Ed reacted.
Previously, Crypto Ed had warned that any push towards the $40,000 could well end up as a relief bounce followed by an even deeper correction than that seen this week.
Summarizing the short-term scenario, meanwhile, fellow trader and analyst Matthew Hyland presented $36,300 and $33,000 as the support levels in play. For him, $39,600 was once again the upside resistance zone to clear, as it had been earlier in February.
"Expect heavy resistance and likely rejection in the 39.5-40k area if we get there," Twitter account Cheds added.
After Tuesday's lows entered, analytics tool Material Indicators had meanwhile eyed an uptick in buyer behavior after days of indecision.
