(Kitco News) - Thursday, April 30 - May bitcoin futures prices are weaker in early U.S. trading Thursday. The bulls have encountered stiff chart resistance that lies just overhead from present prices and are fading. A price uptrend in place on the daily bar chart is now in jeopardy. See the important technical support and resistance lines on the chart. Wyckoff’s Market Rating: 5.0 (out of 10.0, with 1.0 being the most bearish and 10.0 being the most bullish). So long for now, my valued Kitco readers!
