Technical Analysis of BTC/USD for March 31, 2023

Crypto Industry News:

Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has pleaded not guilty to the new allegations made by US prosecutors. The most serious of these was bribing Chinese officials with the amount of 40 million dollars. The 31-year-old entrepreneur also pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws through illegal political donations.

On Tuesday, US prosecutors expanded the number of charges against Bankman-Fried to thirteen. They found that the former CEO of FTX in 2021 gave approximately $40 million in bribes to one or more Chinese officials. The goal was to unblock trading accounts belonging to his hedge fund Alameda Research. The accounts were said to contain $1 billion in cryptocurrency. As a result, prosecutors charged Bankman-Fried with conspiracy to violate the anti-corruption provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

On Thursday, however, he pleaded not guilty through his lawyer, Mark Cohen. The trial took place in federal court in Manhattan. It was chaired by U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan. The formal trial of the former crypto billionaire has been set for October 2.

Technical Market Outlook:

The BTC/USD pair monthly time frame chart looks very bullish. The market is currently testing the 23% Fibonacci retracement level of the last big wave down that started in November 2021. Just above this level, there is an important long term technical resistance seen at $29,152. Bulls need a monthly close above this level in order to sustain the up move. The key, long term technical support is still seen at the level of $15,477 and as long as the market trades above this level, the long term outlook remains bullish. Please notice today we have weekly close, monthly close and quarterly close.
