Bitcoin in a Tight Range as Bulls Battle the Resistance at $59,000

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is in a downward correction. Today, the BTC price fell to the low of $55,842 as the bulls bought the dips.

On November 30, the bitcoin price dropped to the low of $55,899 and then rebounded. Since the downward impulse on November 26, BTC/USD has been in a trading range, fluctuating between $55,800 and $59,000.

After Bitcoin recovered from the $55,800 support level, buyers are focused on breaking the $59,000 resistance level, but based on the price action so far, buyers have failed to keep BTC above the $59,000 high. A break above the recent high will lead Bitcoin to rally above $60,000. This will prompt buyers to retarget the higher resistance zones at $67,000 and $69,000. On the other hand, if buyers fail to break the recent high, Bitcoin will fall to $54,000 and later to the $52,000 price level.
