The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has remained stable above the moving average lines. The largest cryptocurrency is currently on the retreat after being rejected on November 24.
Bitcoin (BTC) Price Long Term Prediction: Bullish
Resistance at $38,000 has slowed the upward momentum of the Bitcoin price. However, the market reached a high of $38,437 before retreating. The cryptocurrency has returned to its previous trading range of $35,400 to $38,000. In other words, at the time of writing, the BTC price is worth $37,211. On the downside, the decline is approaching the 21-day SMA.
Bitcoin risks a decline if the bears break below the 21-day SMA and the downtrend continues. The decline will extend to a low above the 50-day SMA or the $34,000 support.
However, if Bitcoin finds support above the moving average lines, the existing price range will be maintained.
