Bitcoin Falls Sharply And Struggles Below Resistance At $28,000

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has remained relatively stable while trying to reach the psychological threshold of $30,000.

Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bullish

Yesterday's retest of the $29,000 resistance level led to a significant decline. As the cryptocurrency value fell to a low of $26,700, the bulls bought the dips. At the time of writing, the value of BTC is at $27,745. After the current retracement, the bitcoin price will most likely reach the psychological $30,000 price level. A price indicator also suggests that Bitcoin could rise. The retraced candlestick of the March 22 uptrend tested the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level. According to the retracement, BTC will rise before falling to the 1.272 Fibonacci extension level or $31,128.40. The price movement indicates that the BTC price will rise but will face resistance between $28,000 and $29,000. Once these thresholds are reached, the value of the cryptocurrency will exceed $30,000.
