Bitcoin price long-term prediction: bullish

On September 29, as reported by Coinidol.com, Bitcoin had a strong rejection at a high of $66,193. Today, the largest cryptocurrency fell below the moving average lines but remained above the 50-day SMA.

Since October 1, BTC price has been fluctuating above the $60,000 low and above the 50-day SMA support. The price action has been stationary for the past three days as doji candlesticks have emerged. Doji candlesticks indicate that traders are unsure which way the market will move. 

On the negative scenario Bitcoin would continue to fall if it fails to reach the 50-day SMA support or the $60,000 low. Similarly, the uptrend will begin once the bulls break the 21-day SMA resistance line. In the meantime, BTC price has remained steady between the moving average lines.

Today, Bitcoin is $61,262.
