If Bitcoin price has chances to resume upward?

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.

Bitcoin (BTC) Indicator Reading  

Bitcoin has fallen to level 22 of the Relative Strength Index period 14. BTC has fallen into an oversold region of the market. The implication is that buyers are likely to emerge in the oversold region to push prices upward. Bitcoin is also below the 20% range of the daily stochastic which is indicating the same price situation. Bitcoin is likely to resume upward.
