Buyers are finding it difficult to break above the high at $48,489

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has been on a positive trend after the cryptocurrency broke through resistance at $48,000. Today, buyers maintained the bullish momentum above the $48,000 support.

However, buyers are finding it difficult to break above the high at $48,489. The upside move has temporarily stalled. Yesterday, buyers pushed the BTC price to the high of $48,429 but were pushed back.

Bitcoin fell back to the low of $47,400 as bulls bought the dips. The BTC price has risen to the $48,500 resistance zone. On the upside, a rally above $50,000 is expected on a breakout above the $48,500 resistance. However, the bears will be a strong resistance at the psychological price level. If the buyers are successful, the price of BTC will rise to the previous highs of $50,500 to $52,500. However, if the bears provide strong resistance, Bitcoin will be forced to move between $48,000 and S50,000.
