Trader: BTC ‘gives people a second chance’
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD circling $42,700 on Sunday, with just hours to go before the end of the weekly candle.
The pair had fallen into the end of Wall Street trading on Friday, while the weekend provided some jittery calm as the $42,000 support remained intact.
Popular trader and analyst Rekt Capital still had reason for optimism despite losing nearly 10% over the past seven days.
This #BTC pullback is a second chance for many people
If you promised yourself to buy $BTC when it goes lower
And swore you wouldn’t miss the next uptrend
Do yourself a favour
And follow your own advice #Crypto #Bitcoin

Rekt Capital highlighted three key moving averages that are currently being tested as support, noting that historically, a bounce off them had preceded “strong bullish momentum.”
“Technically anything above ~$38k is a macro higher low for BTC,” he had said on Saturday.
Macro pressures had been the backdrop to gloomy sentiment throughout the week, Cointelegraph reported, and concerns about US dollar strength lingered on the day.
“The moment the DXY peaks (which could be soon), the next bull run will begin. And this one will be an epic one,” predicts Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe, who also takes a more hopeful perspective.
In what became a constant source of optimism, blockchain protocol Terra continued its BTC purchases on Sunday, with associated nonprofit organization Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) adding 4,130 BTC to its wallet.
According to on-chain monitoring resource BitInfoCharts, the given wallet was the 19th largest in existence with a balance of 39,897.98 BTC ($1.7 billion).

Dogecoin is cleaning up among the big altcoins
Altcoins were similarly flat on the day, with the top ten cryptocurrencies by market cap moving no more than 1% up or down.

Compared to the same time last week, it was Terra’s LUNA and Solana (SOL) that vied for the worst performance, both down around 18%.

However, just outside the top ten, Dogecoin (DOGE) once again outperformed the rest, gaining 8.3% in 24 hours.
Maybe even a way to pay in Doge?

DOGE/USD hit $0.158, marking its highest since April 6 on continued publicity from Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Musk’s suggestions over the weekend included Twitter, whose shares he bulk-buyed last week and accepted payments in DOGE.
