Bitcoin Crosses The $100,000 Mark Again But Traders Remain Uncertain

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) surpassed the psychological $100,000 mark, reaching a high of $104,000 on December 5.

Bitcoin price long-term prediction: bullish

Buyers were unable to sustain their bullish momentum above the $105,000 barrier zone after being heavily rebuffed. The largest cryptocurrency fell sharply and hit a low of $88,800, but the bulls bought the dips. 

Today, Bitcoin has risen above the moving average lines. The cryptocurrency is trading above the 21-day SMA but below the $100,000 resistance level. Neither the bulls nor the bears have broken above the range level. Bitcoin is trading within a range as traders are unsure which way the market will move. However, the bulls have an advantage as Bitcoin is trading in a positive trend zone.

If buyers keep the price above $100,000 and the uptrend continues, the market will reach a high of $115,000. In the meantime, the value of Bitcoin stands at $98,707.

The tiny, hesitant candlesticks are slowing the price movement as traders are uncertain about the market direction.
