He noted that while his previous analysis had Bitcoin above the actual VWAP, indicating bullish signals, it was still under the ATH VWAP resistance in the updated chart.

This discrepancy comes from the difference in timeframes, as his previous analysis was on a weekly chart, while the recent one is on a monthly chart.

Bitcoin's price is experiencing volatility due to concerns around the Curve decentralized finance platform, causing it to drop 1.5% in 24 hours and fall below its 50-day moving average, suggesting a short-term bearish trend.

However, future catalysts, including a federal court decision on the approval of and expanded applications on the Bitcoin blockchain, could potentially stimulate the cryptocurrency's value. Despite the current downward trend, these developments suggest the need for cautious optimism in the digital asset market.
