Bitcoin continues to show strength but is encountering some resistance around the $52000 level and may be prone to pullbacks given the recent run : I highlighted an add area to ARB, Argo Blockchain yesterday where I maintain a long position posted last Friday , if BTC pull back then ARB is likely to follow and may offer opportunities to add around the 5 or 8 EMAs CHART
