Bitcoin Price Reaches Bearish Exhaustion, Battles Resistance at $40,000 for Upside Momentum

Yesterday, May 19, 2021, BTC/USD temporarily halted its downward move as Bitcoin slumped to a $29,563 low. Now, Bitcoin has chances to resume upward.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish

Bitcoin bulls promptly bought the dips as the crypto resumed upward. Buyers have pushed BTC price from the low of $29,563 to the previous highs. The bulls are facing difficulty in penetrating the $40,000 resistance. Bitcoin is consolidating near the resistance zone in the lower time frame. Consolidation near the resistance zone increases the chances of a breakout. 

Nevertheless, there is a long candlestick tail pointing above the $28, 000 support. The long tail indicates that there is strong buying pressure above the $28,000 support. The bulls are buying the dips as the BTC price resumes upward. However, if buyers fail to break the current resistance, BTC/USD will be compelled to a range-bound move between $28,000 and $40,000 for a few days. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading at $40,111.90 at the time of writing.
