Bitcoin Price Eyes Recovery Wave
Bitcoin price gained bearish momentum after it broke the $39,000 support zone. BTC even traded below the $38,000 level and settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average.
There was a spike below the $37,500 support zone. A low was formed near $37,399 and the price is now correcting higher. There was a move above the $38,000 and $38,200 resistance levels. There was also a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $38,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
Bitcoin price even climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $40,349 swing high to $37,399 low. It is now facing resistance near the $38,800 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $40,349 swing high to $37,399 low is also near the $38,800 zone to act as a resistance. The next key resistance could be near the $39,000 zone. A close above the $39,000 level could open the doors for a decent increase.

Hoskinson Membantah Rumor Keluar dari Cardano: 'Saya Tidak Meninggalkan'

Pendiri Cardano Charles Hoskinson membantah rumor yang menyatakan ia akan meninggalkan ekosistem Cardano. Dalam siaran langsung pada 4 Juni, ia menjelaskan bahwa dirinya hanya mengurangi komunikasi publik, bukan mengundurkan diri. Pernyataan ini muncul setelah postingannya di X tentang "istirahat sejenak" memicu kekhawatiran komunitas. Hoskinson menyoroti lingkungan media sosial yang sangat beracun, terutama di X, di mana sekitar 30% balasan terhadap cuitannya bersifat permusuhan dan kasar. Ia mengakui platform tersebut masih penting untuk informasi crypto, namun dampak psikologisnya terlalu besar. Ia menegaskan bahwa fokusnya tetap pada pengembangan teknologi seperti RealFi, Bitcoin yang dapat diprogram, dan Midnight, bukan pada kenaikan harga ADA. Ia menggambarkan "dua sisi Cardano": kemajuan teknis dan penelitian yang signifikan sejak 2021, versus kinerja harga yang dianggap gagal oleh banyak pihak. Kesenjangan ini menciptakan disonansi kognitif. Hoskinson menyerukan perlunya roadmap baru, meninggalkan X sebagai forum utama, serta mereformasi insentif dan budaya manajemen, termasuk mengkritik struktur Yayasan Cardano. Hoskinson menyatakan akan mengambil jeda dari video publik, wawancara, dan media sosial sambil tetap mengerjakan Midnight. Ia berencana kembali dengan proposal untuk masa depan Cardano, dengan syarat mendapat perlakuan yang hormat. Pada saat berita, ADA diperdagangkan pada $0.1589.
