Bitcoin Bulls Recoup Above $55,000 Support after Rejection at the $58,000 High

Over the past 48 hours, Bitcoin’s price has been fluctuating between $55,000 and $58,000. Buyers could not reach the $60,000 psychological price level as the uptrend was interrupted at the recent high.

Later, BTC’s price slumped to a $55,000 low then corrected upward. In the previous price action, BTC price rebounded above the $51,000 support as price rallied to a $56,000 high. The cryptocurrency corrected for two days before it rallied to a $58,000 high. 

Bitcoin has fallen to the previous price level that was earlier broken. Nonetheless, if the bullish momentum resumes and price breaks the $58,000 high, a rally to $60,000 is expected. However, if the bears decide to break the $55,000 support, the Bitcoin price will resume a downward move. Presently, Bitcoin is falling as it approaches the previous low at $54,000. The downtrend will continue if price breaks below the $54,000 support.
