Market Wrap: Bitcoin Expected to Pause Before Next Rally

Bitcoin buyers are in profit-taking mode as the cryptocurrency tests the $40,000 resistance level. Sentiment has significantly improved over the past week, although some analysts think it's time for a pause before another leg higher.

"BTC easily broke through $35K, but I think it will probably have a harder time going through $40K this time," Justin Chuh, a senior trader at Wave Financial, wrote in an email to CoinDesk.

"Miners & sellers are coming in to cash out once more and buyers unable to push it higher after absorbing that hit," Chuh wrote.
