Bitcoin Struggles Above $23,000 And Faces Rejection At $24,000

Bitcoin (BTC) price has continued to hold above the moving average lines after being rejected at the $24,000 resistance level.

Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bullish

Buyers have tried twice unsuccessfully to break the recent high. However, if the price bars remain above the moving average lines, the current retest could continue. Today, the 21-day line SMA has pulled back to the upside, and the comeback will allow BTC to rise above $24,000 and reach a high of $25,000. However, if the $25,000 level is broken, the uptrend will resume. The bullish momentum will accelerate if the psychological price threshold of $30,000 is reached. Bitcoin will fall and be trapped between the moving average lines if the BTC price falls back below the 21-day line SMA. The cryptocurrency value will have to stay in a range between the moving average lines for a few days.
