Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC price momentum heading to $62,000 during the Asia session.


Bitcoin had managed a rebound beyond $65,500 days prior, and its subsequent 5% retracement left BTC/USD firmly in a range in place since before the weekend.


The daily close, at around $62,300, left BTC/USD increasingly at risk of giving back more of its recent gains.


“Any daily close below $62,100 or prolonged inactivity counts as a stop-loss,” J. A. Maartunn, a contributor to on-chain analytics platform CryptoQuant, warned in part of market coverage on X the day prior.


Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm MNTrading, expressed frustration at the lack of overall direction since Bitcoin’s block subsidy halving in mid-April.


“Bitcoin slowly procedes towards the lower boundaries of the range for a test of support,” he wrote on the day.“After that, it seems likely we’ll continue the upwards grind. Boredom has started since the Bitcoin halving took place.”BTC/USD chart. Source: Michaël van de Poppe


An accompanying chart showed levels to watch to the downside “if a correction happens.”


Fellow trader Moustache meanwhile remained optimistic, arguing that current moves should result in a more sustained upside as in previous post-halving setups.


“The last dips before $BTC starts the next leg imo,” he told X followers.“It’s never been any different if you look at history. We’re in 2017 or 2020.”BTC/USD chart. Source: MoustacheBitcoin ETFs ditch inflow trend


Upheaval in the crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) sector produced mixed impressions of the outlook.

The U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs saw another day of net outflows on May 7, conspicuously contrasting with the prior two days’ inflows, which passed $500 million.

At the same time, investment firm Susquehanna disclosed an ETF portfolio worth $1.3 billion.
