Bitcoin (BTC) held its most recent gains into May 27 as traders called for a change in “bearish” market sentiment.

Trader awaits “pretty major move” for BTC price

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView followed BTC/USD as it entered the weekend at around $26,700.

The week’s macroeconomic data from the United States had ended with a surprise, as a new Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index print showed the economy weathering tighter financial conditions much better than expected.

Markets then began to price in a June interest rate hike from the Federal Reserve, which should form a headwind for risk assets but failed to dampen a BTC price rebound.

Despite the price comeback, however, the mood remained overly cautious for some.

“Retail is so extremely bearish on Bitcoin and Crypto, it’s almost insane,” Michaël van de Poppe, founder and CEO of trading firm Eight, argued.

“People are stuck in the 2022 mindset.”

Popular trader Skew noted Bitcoin’s strong reaction at the 200-week moving average (MA) near $26,000, with more key trend line challenges now in the making.

“Price trying to reclaim 100D MA after nice move up from 200W MA. Price is currently pinned between 4H EMAs & 1D EMAs,” analysis of the 4-hour BTC/USD chart stated the day prior.

“Expecting a pretty major move soon, inflection point is here imo.”
