Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView showed BTC/USD adding $1,000 after dipping to near the $41,000 mark for the first time since Jan. 11.

In what could be a temporary reprieve, Bitcoin nonetheless stayed rangebound, with no noticeable attacks on resistance — behavior all too familiar for spot traders in recent days.

"Good bounce from Bitcoin, but I'd be happier if we reclaim $42.4K region," Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe summarized in his latest Twitter update.

In a previous post on the day, Van de Poppe highlighted $38,000 as an "ultimate" line in the sand that needs to hold should a fresh breakdown occur.

"The ultimate test for Bitcoin is the area between $38-40K. Holding there would confirm buyers stepping in + bullish divergence for a reversal," he added.

Others were confident in the market's current strength, given a similiar bounce on U.S. stocks prior to the Wall Street open.

Nonetheless, another topic of interest this week focuses on a divergence in performance between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq, with proponents hoping that BTC would definitively "decouple" from the index's downward trend.
