Bitcoin Climbs Above $23,812 And Sets Its Sights On The Next Resistance Level

Bitcoin price long term forecast: bullish

Bitcoin traded and climbed to a high of $23,812 yesterday, but was stopped out. Had buyers managed to break through the $24,000 resistance, the BTC price would have reached a high of $25,212. As the BTC price fell below the current resistance level, it failed to break through the $24,000 resistance. The cryptocurrency value fell to a low above $22,920 before consolidating again. The BTC price will continue to move in a range below the resistance level. The BTC/USD price has been hovering between $22,300 and $23,000 since January 21. If the bears break below the $22,300 support, the selling pressure will increase and reach the $21,000 support.

What is the next direction for BTC/USD?

Being in a range, Bitcoin cannot move above the support line. As buyers try to continue the upward movement above the resistance level, the cryptocurrency asset is trapped in a small range. If buyers manage to break above the resistance at $23,000 and $24,000, Bitcoin will reach the next price level at $25,212.
