Bitcoin Backtracks And Encounters Rejection At The $38,000 High

The Bitcoin (BTC) price has started to rise again after another rejection at the $38,000 mark.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Long Term Prediction: Bullish

Today's rejection by buyers is their second attempt to resume the current uptrend. Analysts predicted that Bitcoin would reach the psychological price level of $40,000.

Coinidol.com reports that the price indication on the chart suggested that Bitcoin would reach a high of 1.272 Fibonacci extension or $38,400. The largest cryptocurrency is likely to make a U-turn if its price reaches the predicted level.

Nonetheless, BTC is on the retreat again after two failed attempts to break above the $38,000 mark. If the selling pressure continues, Bitcoin will almost certainly be forced to trend sideways.

The price of the cryptocurrency is expected to fluctuate between $35,400 and $38,000. Bitcoin could fall much further if the bears break through the $35,400 support level.
