On the hourly time frame, one can distinguish the level of $37,300, which is currently holding back the recovery of the Bitcoin (BTC) price. If, today, the line at around $36,000 works as a support, then the recovery may continue to the resistance of $40,000.

On the 4H time frame, Bitcoin (BTC) is on the way to the local resistance at $38,600. The leading crypto has accumulated enough energy to reach that level, however, it was not enough to set the new peak.

It is also confirmed by the low buying trading volume.

The bullish price action is also on the daily chart with a target at $42,000. However, the trading volume should increase if bulls want to attain that level. The same is applied to liquidity, which is low at current levels.

Bitcoin is trading at $37,087 at press time.
