Bitcoin is Unable to Sustain above $35,000 as Buyers and Sellers Continue Price Tussle

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is falling after its rejection of the high at $35,950. For the past 48 hours, the BTC price has been falling from the recent high.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Long-Term Prediction: Bearish 

Since June 23, buyers have found it difficult to sustain bullish momentum above the $35,000 resistance. The bulls managed a partial breakout above the $35,000 high but were overwhelmed by the bears. 

Thus, Bitcoin faced rejection at the $35,950 and $36,400 price levels, forcing BTC/USD to continue the downside correction. On the upside, if Bitcoin bounces above the $35,000 support, it will rally to the resistance zones at $40,000 to $42,500. At these price levels, the bears will likely defend the resistance zones. Conversely, the current downward correction will continue for the time being if the BTC price continues to face rejection from the recent high. Bitcoin is trading at $34,162 at the time of writing.
