Last week, Bitcoin (BTC) began showing early signs of
decoupling from the US stock markets. Bitcoin was relatively flat
over the week, while the S&P 500 plunged by 9%. The sell-off
was triggered following US President Donald Trump’s April 2 global
tariff announcement, which escalated further on April 4 as China
retaliated with new tariffs on US goods. Even gold was not spared
and was down 1.9% for
the week.
Alpine Fox founder Mike Alfred highlighted in a post on X that a
gold bull market is bullish for Bitcoin. During previous cycles,
gold led Bitcoin for a short while, but eventually, Bitcoin caught
up and grew 10 times or
more than gold. He added that it would not be any different
this time.

Although the short-term outperformance of Bitcoin is an
encouraging sign, traders should remain cautious until further
clarity emerges on the macroeconomic front. If the US stock markets
witness another round of selling, the cryptocurrency markets may
also come under pressure.
A handful of altcoins are showing strength on the charts, but
waiting for the overall sentiment to turn bullish before jumping
could be a better strategy. If Bitcoin breaks above its immediate
resistance, what are the top cryptocurrencies that may follow it
higher?
Bitcoin price analysis
Bitcoin bulls have failed to push the price above the resistance
line, but they have not ceded much ground to the bears. This
suggests that the bulls have kept up the pressure.

The 20-day exponential moving average ($84,241) is flattening
out, and the relative strength index (RSI) is just below the
midpoint, signaling a balance between supply and demand.
This advantage will tilt in favor of the bulls on a break and
close above the resistance line. There is resistance at $89,000,
but if the level gets taken out, the BTC/USDT pair could ascend
toward $100,000.
The $80,000 is the vital support to watch out for on the
downside. If this level cracks, the pair could plummet to $76,606
and then to $73,777.

The pair has been consolidating between $81,000 and $88,500. The
moving averages on the 4-hour chart are sloping down marginally,
and the RSI is just below the midpoint, signaling the continuation
of the range-bound action in the near term.
If buyers push the price above $85,000, the pair could rally to
$88,500. This level could attract sellers, but the pair may jump to
$95,000 if the bulls prevail.
The bears will be back in the driver’s seat if the price breaks
below the $81,000 to $80,000 support zone. The pair may then dump
to $76,606.
Pi Network price analysis
Pi Network (PI) has been in a strong downtrend since topping out
at $3 on Feb. 26. The relief rally on April 5 shows the first signs
of buying at lower levels.

Any recovery is expected to face selling at the 20-day EMA
(0.85), which remains the key short-term level to watch out for. If
the PI/USDT pair does not give up much ground from the 20-day EMA,
it indicates that the bulls are holding on to their positions. That
opens the doors for a rally above the 20-day EMA. The pair could
then jump to the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of $1.10 and next
to the 61.8% retracement level of $1.26.
The $0.40 level is the critical support on the downside. A break
and close below $0.40 could sink the pair to $0.10.

Cointelegraph/TradingView
The 4-hour chart shows that the bears are defending the
50-simple moving average, but a minor positive is that the bulls
are trying to keep the pair above the 20-EMA. If the price rebounds
off the 20-EMA, the bulls will attempt to kick the pair above
$0.80. If they do that, the pair could travel to $1.20.
On the contrary, a break and close below the 20-EMA suggests
that the bears have kept up the pressure. The negative momentum
could pick up on a break below $0.54. The pair may then retest the
vital support at $0.40.
OKB price analysis
OKB (OKB) turned up sharply on April
4 and closed above the moving averages, indicating that the bulls
are attempting a comeback.

Cointelegraph/TradingView
The up move continued, and the bulls pushed the price above the
short-term resistance at $54 on April 6. The OKB/USDT pair could
reach the resistance line of the descending channel, which is
likely to attract sellers. If the price turns down sharply and
breaks below $54, the pair may oscillate inside the channel for a
few more days.
On the other hand, if buyers do not give up much ground from the
resistance line, it increases the likelihood of a break above the
channel. The pair could climb to $64 and then to $68.

The pair will complete an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern on
a break and close above the neckline. The up move may face selling
at the resistance line, but on the way down, if buyers flip the
neckline into support, it increases the possibility of a break
above the resistance line. If that happens, the pair could start
its march toward the pattern target of $70.
Sellers will have to fiercely defend the neckline and quickly
pull the price below the 20-EMA to prevent the rally. The pair may
drop to the 50-SMA and thereafter to $45.

GateToken price analysis
GateToken (GT) has been finding support at the 50-day SMA
($22.05) for a few days, which is an important level to watch out
for.
GT/USDT daily chart. Source:
Cointelegraph/TradingView
The flattish moving averages and the RSI just below the midpoint
do not give a clear advantage either to the bulls or the bears. A
break and close above $23.18 could push the price to $24. This
remains the key overhead resistance for the bears to defend because
a break above it could catapult the GT/USDT pair to $26.
This positive view will be invalidated in the short term if the
price breaks and maintains below the 50-day SMA. The pair may sink
to $21.28 and then to $20.79.

Cointelegraph/TradingView
The pair turned down from the resistance line of the descending
channel pattern, indicating selling on rallies. The break below the
moving averages suggests the pair may remain inside the channel for
some more time.
Buyers will gain the upper hand on a break and close above the
resistance line. Such a move suggests that the corrective phase may
be over. The pair could rally to $23.18 and then to $24.
Cosmos price analysis
Cosmos (ATOM) is trying to form a
bottom but is facing selling at $5.15. A minor positive in favor of
the bulls is that they have not allowed the price to break below
the moving averages.
ATOM/USDT daily chart. Source:
Cointelegraph/TradingView
If the price rebounds off the moving averages with force, it
signals buying on dips. That improves the prospects of a break
above the $5.15 resistance. If that happens, the ATOM/USDT pair
could surge toward $6.50 and then to $7.17.
Contrarily, a break and close below the moving averages suggests
a possible range formation in the near term. The pair could swing
between $5.15 and $4.15 for a while. Sellers will be back in
command on a slide below $4.15.
ATOM/USDT 4-hour chart. Source:
Cointelegraph/TradingView
The bulls and the bears are witnessing a tough battle at the
20-EMA on the 4-hour chart. If the price remains below the 20-EMA,
the pair could tumble to the 50-day SMA and later to $4.15. Buyers
are expected to fiercely defend the $4.15 level.
Instead, if the price stays above the 20-day EMA, it signals
solid demand at lower levels. The bulls will then try to push the
pair to $5.15. A break and close above this resistance could start
a new up move.
