Bitcoin Rebounds as It Revisits the $24,000 Overhead Resistance

Bitcoin (BTC) price has recovered above the $20,724 support level after the recent slump. On July 27, the price of the largest cryptocurrency rose to a high of $23,440.

The bulls are retesting resistance at $23,377 before breaking above resistance at $24,000. Since July 19, the uptrend has been slowed down by the overriding resistance of $24,000.

Further upward price action is doubtful as the market has reached the overbought zone. In the last price action, BTC price was bounced at $24,276 as it fell back to the low of $20,724. If Bitcoin breaks above the overriding resistance today, it will be forced to move within a range for a few days. The cryptocurrency will fluctuate between $20,724 and $24,000. However, if the bears break below the $20,000 support, the downtrend will resume and Bitcoin will initially fall to the low of $18,905.
