Bitcoin (BTC) Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish

Following the rejection at the $50,000 high, Bitcoin price dropped to a $42,321 low at the time of writing. There are indications that the bears are poised to push Bitcoin to the low of $40,000. This is possible if buyers fail to push BTC price on the upside. 

However, if the bears break the $42,000 support, Bitcoin will fall and find support above $40,000. In the previous price action, buyers failed to sustain above $58,000 high which caused Bitcoin to drop to $46,601 low. As price attempted to correct upward, it faced another rejection at $50,000 high. Today, BTC/USD is faced with a deeper correction. The bulls have an uphill task to push BTC price above the $50,000 support and later above $58,000. The upside momentum will resume once buyers reclaim the $58,000 support.
