Bitcoin (BTC) Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish

Since March 30, Bitcoin has been trading near the $60,000 resistance zone. On April 2, buyers pushed BTC price above the overhead resistance. Unfortunately, the bullish momentum was not sustained above the resistance zone. 

Bitcoin will resume an upward move if buyers can push it above the $58,000 support. Prices tend to rise above this support level to retest the $60,000 overhead resistance. However, if the bears break the $57,000 support, further selling pressure will ensue. Bitcoin will fall to $54,000 low and subsequently reach the $50,000 support. In the meantime, BTC/USD is fluctuating between $57,000 and $60,000 price levels. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading at $57,166.50 at the time of writing.
