Bitcoin Price Recovers, Attempts to Clear $48,000 Resistance Zone

Bitcoin (BTC) price has commenced the resumption of upward move above the $44,000 support.

Bitcoin Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish

Today, March 1, Bitcoin is trading above $47,000 and it is approaching a high of $48,000. If the bulls sustain the current bullish momentum, a retest of the $52,000 resistance is likely. Once the $52,000 is breached, a rally to $58,000 will be the next target. In the previous price action, the Bitcoin price was confined between $44,000 and $48,000. 

The bulls and bears have been in price tussles for the past four days. The price now has bullish momentum. If the bulls break the initial resistance at $48,000, it will result in accelerated price movement. The market will rise to retest the $52,000 and $58,000 overhead resistance. However, if buyers are overcome at the $48,000 resistance, the BTC price will fall and retest the $44,000 support. A breakdown will weaken the digital currency.
