Bitcoin Faces an Uphill Task as It Jumps Over the Hurdles at $58,000 and $60,000

Bitcoin price shows weakness as it fails to sustain above the $58,000 resistance for the past 48 hours. Today, the market is fluctuating below and above it. Bitcoin bulls have lost the $60,000 psychological price level after two unsuccessful attempts at the resistance.

The bears have successfully broken the crucial support at $58,000 as bulls fail to reclaim it. There are indications of further downward movement of prices. Buyers have two hurdles to jump over. That is the hurdles at $58,000 resistance and the $60,000 psychological price level. For buyers to sustain the recent rallies they have to reclaim the crucial support of $58,000. 

Bitcoin price will resume upside momentum at the crucial support level. Unfortunately, the BTC price is falling after retesting the $58000 high at the time of writing. Bitcoin risks deeper correction if the bears break the $54,000 support. The market is likely to decline to $50,000 and subsequently drop to $48,000. Conversely, if the $54,000 support holds, Bitcoin will resume a fresh uptrend to revisit the previous highs, especially, the reclaiming of the $58,000 high.
