Bitcoin Unable to Sustain Above the $35,000 High, Revisits the $31,000 Support

Bitcoin (BTC) price has resumed its downward movement after failing to break above the $35,000 resistance level. This will be the fourth time Bitcoin will be rejected from the recent high.

Bitcoin has been falling for the past 48 hours as the price has reached the low of $32,818 at the time of writing. In this current downtrend, the bears will have the advantage to push the BTC price to the critical support above $31,000.

Still, it is unclear if the bearish momentum can be sustained below the $31,000 support. If the bears break below $31,000 support today, Bitcoin will drop low to $28,000 or $20,000. This bearish scenario will cause fear and panic in buying and selling Bitcoin. Conversely, if Bitcoin falls and finds support above $31,000 level, the current downtrend will be over. On the upside, if Bitcoin price returns above $31,000 support, it will rally and break through $35,000 resistance.
