Bitcoin Rallies Above $16,900 For A Possible Upside Move

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Long-Term Forecast: Bearish

Here is what the price action looks like since November 30, plain and simple. The price has moved very little between the high of $18,000 and the low of $16,000. The price of BTC rose to a high of $17,505 on December 11, but was unable to break above the $18,000 level. The support needed for a possible reversal is currently at $16,881, Bitcoin's low today. However, if sellers break through support at $16,000, Bitcoin would fall and retest its previous low at $15,588. The bottom line is that if the moving average lines are crossed, Bitcoin will either rise or fall.
