Now as per reports, Bitcoin is on the horizon to retrace back to a pivotal support level of around $37,500. If bulls fail to find a way to rally from here then that could turn out to be a disastrous move for Bitcoin bulls.

Oanda’s Jeffrey Halley is also of the opinion that the world’s largest cryptocurrency will be trading within the established range and the lowest boundary is set at $36,500. If Bitcoin manages to surge above this level, then the price might revisit at the $47,500 level.
