Bitcoin (BTC) price remains below the moving average lines but above the support of $61,000. Cryptocurrency price analysis brought by Coinidol.com.

Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bearish

Since the price plunge on April 13, the price has been moving in a narrow range between the low of $60,000 and the resistance at $66,000. Bitcoin is currently worth $63,103. The 50-day SMA or resistance at $66,000 is holding back any further upward movement in the price.

Buyers were rejected on April 14, 2024 when they tried to hold the price above the moving average lines or the $66,000 resistance level. Bitcoin is in a downtrend and is trading modestly within its limited range. On the downside, the existing support of $60,870 has held since March 5, 2024.

Should the bears manage to break the current support level of $60,870, the largest cryptocurrency will plummet to $50,000.
