The crypto market has remained unchanged in spite of the news that CBOE is putting Bitcoin futures on hold. Bitcoin has been lethargic below $3,900 since the beginning of this week. Over the last weekend, the asset corrected above $3,900 but failed to sustain growth towards $4,000.

The trading yesterday saw the bulls fall into a bear trap: BTC/USD spiked briefly almost touching $3,900 but quickly turned around canceling the gains. The largest crypto tested the short-term support $3,700 before correcting higher above $3,850.

At press time, Bitcoin is exchanging hands at $3,851 within the 50 SMA resistance and the 100 SMA support 4-hour chart. As discussed before, Bitcoin must sustain growth above $4,000 to give the traders confidence that $4,000 is achievable. However, the traders are likely to get exhausted holding the position above $3,800 and are likely to sell. This is likely to create more supply and less demand. Bitcoin price will react by exploring the levels close to $3,500; a move that will create more demand and reverse the trend upwards.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is supported by the bullish trendline; other support levels are $3,800 and $3,700. The RSI is horizontal at 51 while the MACD is flat out on at the mean line (0.0). Bitcoin sideways trading is likely to last longer as market activity reduces.
