Bitcoin Regains Bullish Momentum as Buyers Recoup to Resume Uptrend

The Bitcoin (BTC) price has regained momentum after sellers pushed the largest cryptocurrency below the $40,000 level.

Bitcoin (BTC) price long-term forecast: bearish

On January 10, the BTC price recovered from the support at $41,000 and reached the high of $44.095. The cryptocurrency is facing a slight retracement after the recent high. If the price breaks the resistance at $44,000, the market will rally above $46,000. This would put bitcoin in the range zone between $45,600 and $48,000. If the bulls are successful, buyers will try to retest or break through the upper resistance at $48,000. A break above the $48,000 resistance will catapult the BTC price above the $50,000 price level. 

Today, buyers are still struggling to keep prices above the $44,000 high. On the other hand, if the bullish scenario proves to be invalid, Bitcoin will fall back to the $40,000 price level.
