Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC / USD cooling to higher levels after breaking through the $ 49,000 mark on Friday night.
The end of the work week had seen a positive reaction to comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell on reducing asset purchases, as well as comments on inflation.
As Cointelegraph reported, stocks hit all-time highs as the US dollar weakened Bitcoin took the opportunity and added $ 1,500 in less than an hour.
With talks of a new “bullish momentum” in the crypto markets, the mood for the weekend was therefore far from bearish.
“If BTC is able to stay above the level of around $ 49,000 for the remainder of the week… That would set itself up for a phenomenal weekly close,” summed up trader and analyst Rekt Capital.
This weekly close had a solid chance to beat the last at the time of writing, with $ 49,300 per level reaching a multi-month high.
It would also put Bitcoin back into the tiny two-month window in which it closed above $ 49,000 on the weekly chart earlier this year.

“It should be pretty obvious where Bitcoin is heading,” popular Twitter account Ryan Cantering Clark added.
A review of the buy and sell levels on the main Binance exchange that day revealed a slowly growing support line at around $ 48,800, forming a tight deadlock with sellers just below $ 50,000.

Cardano (ADA) increased the lead, with ADA / USD climbing nearly 10% to $ 2.85 and making up for much of its recently lost ground after hitting all-time highs. Solana (SOL) continued her ascent after her own record.
