The Bitcoin (BTC) price is trading above the psychological threshold of $100,000 and is above the 21-day SMA.

Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bullish

On December 5, as reported by Coinidol.com, the altcoin climbed to a high of $104,000 before falling back below its previous high. 

Today, the BTC price has held above the recent high, reaching a high of $107,000. If the current positive trend continues, Bitcoin will reach a high of $115,000. The uptrend will continue to the high of $125,000. 

However, should the cryptocurrency value fall and break the 21-day SMA support, the bullish scenario will be nullified. Bitcoin will fall above the 50-day SMA or the $90,000 low. Bitcoin is currently worth $107,000.
