Bitcoin Retreats As It Is Unable To Reach Significant Level Of $30,000

Bitcoin (BTC) price remains trapped between the moving average lines as buyers try to break the 21-day line SMA.

Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bearish

Yesterday, Bitcoin (BTC) made a comeback and rose to the psychologically significant $30,000 level, but encountered fierce resistance at the recent high. The fervent enthusiasm of buyers was not enough to break the psychological price barrier. As a result, the BTC price fell between the moving average lines. The price of one bitcoin rose to $28,826 after the rejection. The upward momentum is stopped at the high of $29,600. However, Bitcoin's uptrend will resume when buyers break the 21-day line SMA. The largest cryptocurrency will start a new rise and try to reach or surpass the $30,000 mark again. Bitcoin will rise and retrace its steps back to its previous high of $31,000. However, the BTC price would remain limited if the bullish condition becomes invalid.
