Bitcoin Pauses Over $24,000 In Preparation For Possible Bounce

Feb 20, 2023 at 11:15 // Price

Bitcoin price is currently hovering just above the support level

Bitcoin (BTC) price continues to rise despite having failed twice at the $25,000 level.

Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bullish


During the first rejection, Bitcoin reached a high of $25,234. In the following 48 hours, buyers managed to keep the price above the resistance level, but selling pressure occurred near the peak of $25,209. Nevertheless, the largest cryptocurrency had already reached the resistance level on August 15, 2022. Buyers failed to keep the price above the resistance level during the previous price action. However, there is still a chance for a rise once the bull market resumes. In order to regain the upward momentum, the bitcoin price must first overcome another barrier at $25,000. If this hurdle is cleared, Bitcoin is expected to reach the psychological price level of $30,000. At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $24,495.
