Bitcoin (BTC) price has risen to $48,192 as buyers failed to maintain bullish momentum above the recent high. Bitcoin would have reached the psychological price level of $50,000 if the resistance of $48,000 is broken. Today, the BTC price has dropped to a low of $47,115 (at the time of writing).
There is a possibility that the largest cryptocurrency will fall back to the low of $46,400. However, if the bears break the support at $46,400, Bitcoin will continue to fall to the breakout level of $45,400. Currently, the BTC price is fluctuating below the resistance zone. It fluctuates between $46,750 and $48,000. The market will resume its uptrend if the price holds above the $46,750 support. Nevertheless, Bitcoin’s uptrend is doubtful as the market is approaching the overbought zone.
