Bitcoin Is Range Bound between $60,000 and $63,000 as Bulls and Bears Reach Indecision

Last week, Bitcoin (BTC) price fluctuated above the psychological price level of $60,000. Today, the cryptocurrency is trading at $60,626 and fluctuating between $60,000 and $63,000.

Bitcoin's upward movement is hampered by the bulls' failure to keep prices above the $63,000 and $64,000 highs. 

Breaking through the resistance levels will cause Bitcoin to resume its upward momentum. However, with buyers failing to keep the price above the recent high, Bitcoin was forced to move within a range between $60,000 and $63,000. The upside or downside will be decided when the rangebound levels are broken. In the meantime, the price of BTC will continue to fluctuate for a few more days.
