The technical picture implies that the upside may be resumed.

Tanya Abrosimova Independent Analyst

Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new April's high $7,748 on April 23 and retreated to $7,500. Since that time, the first digital coin has been oscillating in a tight range limited by $7,000 on the upside and $7,500 on the downside. While BTC/USD retreated from the peak, many traders still expect further recovery amid growing concerns bout the monetary policy of global central banks.
