Bitcoin Stabilizes Above $52,000 And Continues Its Strong Rise

Long-term forecast for the Bitcoin price: bullish

The current uptrend is encountering resistance near the $53,000 high. The price of the cryptocurrency is oscillating below its recent high in anticipation of further upward movement. Bitcoin price reached $52,298. 

Now, if the support level of $52,000 holds, the uptrend of the largest cryptocurrency will resume. A price rise above the existing support will break through the resistance at $53,000. The positive momentum will continue up to the high of $60,000. 

Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency traded in a price range of $50,000 to $53,000. The price movement was slowed down by the appearance of doji candlesticks. Bitcoin risks a decline if the $50,000 support is broken. Bitcoin will first fall above the 21-day SMA or above the $47,000 low.
