"Bitcoin saw a mix of buying and selling pressure, leading to price fluctuations before settling around $70,500. Bitcoin's next resistance level is expected at $70,979, with the next support level at $68,955," said Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex.
CoinSwitch Markets Desk, said, "While BTC bulls have been able to manage BTC prices above $70k after a retest of $69k as support, several analysts are predicting that a short squeeze might be on the cards as well. However, Ethereum, in comparison to BTC, has been quite weak as the ETH/BTC chart is unable to bounce back hard from the 0.05 mark with the odds of ETF approval for Ethereum also reducing for May."
