Bitcoin (BTC) price long-term forecast: bearish

The cryptocurrency price has reached the overbought zone of the market. The BTC price may face rejection at the recent high as sellers emerge to push prices lower. The current uptrend is facing tough resistance at the high of $41,600 as Bitcoin pulls back. However, in a market that is in a strong trend, an overbought condition cannot last. 

Bitcoin will continue to move higher. If buyers are successful at the recent high, the Bitcoin price will regain the previous high at $45,000. Conversely, if Bitcoin turns from the recent high, the market will fall back to the support at $39,000, where it has been consolidating for the last four days. It is worth remembering that before the recent spike on April 11, the BTC price fluctuated between $39,223 and $40,500.
