Bitcoin's Rise Has Surpassed $70,000 Peak

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is on the rise, breaking through the $69,000 resistance zone. This is the third time that Bitcoin has surpassed its current price level.

Long-term forecast for the Bitcoin price: bullish

However, the bulls have failed to sustain their bullish momentum above the $69,000 level. Once the initial barrier is broken, Bitcoin will rise above the psychological level of $70,000. 

However, if the bulls fail to break the $69,000 level, the largest cryptocurrency will continue to move sideways above the moving average lines but below the resistance line. Nevertheless, the current upswing will stop if the bears fall below the moving average lines. The Bitcoin price is at $71,628.
