Currently, buyers have pushed the price above the moving average lines

Bitcoin's (BTC) price resumed its upward trend but was halted at the $75,000 high.

BTC price long-term prediction: bullish

This is the third time the largest cryptocurrency has been rejected at the $75,000 barrier. Currently, buyers have pushed the price above the moving average lines but have not yet broken through the $75,000 barrier. The price is moving within a narrow range, above the 50-day SMA support but below the $75,000 high. BTC is rejected each time it reaches the $74,000 resistance level.

On the upside, if the current resistance level is broken, Bitcoin could reach a high of $90,000. Conversely, if Bitcoin is rejected at the recent high, it will return to its range above the $60,000 support. Today, Bitcoin is at $74,410.

Technical indicators

  • Key supply zones: $120,000, $125,000, $130,000

  • Key demand zones: $90,000, $85,000, $80,000
