Bitcoin Pauses After Testing $35,000 Barrier Twice

Cryptocurrency analysts of Coinidol.com report, Bitcoin (BTC) price has reached the $35,000 resistance level twice while continuing its sideways movement.

Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bullish

The largest cryptocurrency asset has reached the overbought zone and is struggling to break the recent high. If the bulls prevail, Bitcoin could reach a high of $40,000 per coin. However, this is doubtful due to the change in market structure. Bitcoin is trading in a narrow range below the high of $35,000. Bitcoin price is fluctuating between $33,000 and $35,000, and the upward movement has slowed down. If the current levels are broken, the cryptocurrency will resume its uptrend. At the time of writing, BTC/USD is trading at $34,213.

What is the next direction for BTC/USD?

As the market peaked, bullish fatigue set in for Bitcoin. Candlestick wicks have lengthened since October 24 as a result of the rejection of the recent high. Long wicks at higher prices indicate strong selling pressure. Bitcoin is currently moving sideways. The sideways trend could lead to a recovery or a breakdown.

Last week Coinidol.com reported that the largest cryptocurrency then rebounded and reached a high of $35,199 before falling back on October 24. Recently, the bulls broke through the barriers at $31,000 and $32,400.
