Bitcoin Is Stable above $7,500 as Bulls Struggle to Push Price above $8,000

Bitcoin has been relatively stable after the price spike as it continued its uptrend. Positively, the bulls have sustained a price above $7,500 and not allowing it to fall below the breakout level of $7,400.

Concerted efforts are being made by the bulls as it continues to push the price to reach $8,000 resistance. In its sideways move, BTC will consolidate and push higher despite its slight retracement. Recently, the crypto reached the overbought region of the market.

BTC is unaffected by the overbought region as sellers are yet to emerge. Nonetheless, the major hurdle to jump over is the $8,000 resistance. On March 7, the bears broke that resistance level after three days of struggle at the $8,000 price level. Bitcoin will rally to 9,000 if the bulls are successful above the $8,000 resistance.
