Bitcoin Weathers Bearish Storms, AI Altcoins Surge

Despite facing mild losses, Bitcoin (BTC) managed a late-week comeback. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence-focused altcoins Worldcoin (WLD) and SingularityNET (AGIX) achieved modest gains. In contrast, the global cryptocurrency market capitalization rose slightly, adding $30 billion to reach $2.4 trillion.

Bitcoin Navigates Bearish Pressure, AI Altcoins Gain Ground

Despite a late-week resurgence, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced modest losses due to persistent bearish sentiment. Conversely, artificial intelligence (AI)-oriented altcoins Worldcoin (WLD) and SingularityNET (AGIX) posted notable gains.

Global Crypto Market Capitalization Inches Up

In contrast to Bitcoin's downturn, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization witnessed a modest 1.26% increase, adding over $30 billion to reach $2.4 trillion. This rise was primarily driven by the performances of prominent altcoins during the late-stage market recovery.

Bitcoin Retests $59k, Enjoys Late Resurgence

Bitcoin commenced the week under prevailing bearish pressure from the previous period, leading to a 5% decline over seven days. Despite initially holding above the $65,000 threshold, the cryptocurrency faced sharp declines, eventually closing below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) on April 16.

This marked the first intraday close below the 50 EMA since January, signaling a shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish. Amidst this pressure, BTC retested the $59,000 support level on April 17, closing the day with a 4% drop despite quickly recovering the $60,000 zone.

Remarkably, the $59,000 level proved to be a catalyst for a rebound, with BTC gaining 3.65% on April 18. This resurgence persisted until April 20, the date of the halving event. Bitcoin reached a high of $65,450 hours after the halving but remained in negative territory on a weekly basis. At the time of writing, the uptrend has moderated, with BTC trading at $64,962.

SingularityNET Breaks out of Symmetrical Triangle

SingularityNET (AGIX) suffered significant losses in the previous week's downtrend, eventually breaking below its 50-day EMA on April 12 and dropping to a six-week low of $0.6070 the following day. The bearish momentum continued into this week, with AGIX losing 5.41% on April 15.

Chart analysis revealed that AGIX had been trading within a symmetrical triangle for three weeks. The bears resisted any upward breakout attempts, while the bulls used the lower trendline as support. The AI-centric token continued to decline until it retested the support level of $0.7666 on April 18.

Following this retest, AGIX, along with the rest of the market, staged a recovery. However, its bullish momentum became evident on April 20, when it surged by 15.40%, finally breaking through the upper trendline of the symmetrical triangle. This breakout coincided with a move above the 50-day EMA.

Despite a slight decline today, AGIX maintains an uptrend, leveraging the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level ($0.9291) as support against potential pullbacks into the symmetrical triangle. To consolidate its position above the $1 mark, AGIX must overcome the Fibonacci 0.5 level at $1.030.

Worldcoin Faces Resistance at $6.09

Worldcoin, another AI-focused cryptocurrency, displayed notable movements this week. Despite starting the week with a 6.88% drop on April 15, WLD remained in a consolidation phase, recouping most of these losses with a 6.16% rebound the following day.

The tug-of-war between buyers and sellers persisted until April 19. As the weekend approached, Worldcoin witnessed a significant 14.19% intraday gain on April 20, fueled by bullish sentiment surrounding the Bitcoin halving. The Saturday rally pushed WLD to a one-week high of $5.66 before encountering resistance.

On-chain data suggests that WLD may face challenges in reclaiming the $6 psychological level, which it relinquished last week with a 14.12% decline on April 12. To regain this level, WLD must overcome a significant sell wall, where 448 addresses purchased 268,340 tokens at an average price of $6.09.

Despite a 7% gain this week, Worldcoin exhibits short-term bearish sentiment. However, its daily Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 42, indicates that the cryptocurrency has potential for further growth. Trading at $5.5 at the time of writing, WLD requires support from the broader market to push above $6.
