Despite this short-term volatility, bitcoin is still in an overall uptrend, according to Fairlead Strategies analyst Katie Stockton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn our reports, we\u2019ve highlighted a short- and intermediate-term neutral view for both bitcoin and ethereum (ETH), within the context of their long-term trends,\u201d she said. \u201cSo, if we were a long-term holder we\u2019d certainly sit with these coins.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
GOLD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Gold had a rollercoaster ride last week, which ended on an upswing. That trend continued this week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On April 1, gold continued trading up before rising to $1,730 by the end of the day. It reached nearly $1,735, where it stalled going into the weekend. Gold channeled mostly between $1,730 and $1,720 when markets reopened on April 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, April 6 began with buying pressure that largely continued into the afternoon, rising to $1,745. Gold floated down to $1,735 by the end of April 7. But buying pressure early in the day pushed gold\u2019s price up to $1,755, where it is currently trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
