Bitcoin’s Price

Bitcoin and the altcoins are consolidating above their support levels. For the past week, the cryptos are presently defending their previous lows as the selling pressure subsides. The largest cryptocurrency and the altcoins will regain bullish momentum if the current support levels hold. However, if the bears break these current support levels, the downtrend will resume.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) price is in a downward correction but has resumed a sideways trend. Since May 12 price slump, the bearish trend has subsided as Bitcoin resumes a range-bound move. For the past week, BTC/USD has been fluctuating between $28,000 and $32,000 price levels.

The BTC price is making an upward move towards the $32,000 resistance zone. Bitcoin can also be repelled at the 21-day line moving. Since May 13, the bulls have had to defend the $28,000 crucial support. On the upside, if Bitcoin rebounds, the market will rally above the $32,000 resistance level. The bullish momentum will extend to the $40,000 psychological price level.
