Bitcoin Regains Bullish Momentum, Revisits the $35,000 Resistance Level
Jan 06, 2021 at 13:10 //
NewsBitcoin price retested the $35,000 resistance level but failed to continue the upward move. The crypto is likely to correct on the downside.
The reason for the retracement is because the crypto’s price has reached an overbought region of the market. The RSI and the stochastic have indicated the overbought condition of the coin. Bitcoin is at level 85 of the RSI which implies that it has no room to rally on the upside.
On January 3, Bitcoin bulls had earlier retested the resistance zone and the coin plunged to $28,540 low. The breakdown on January 4 liquidated traders who are long trades. Surprisingly, the market moved up immediately to retest the same resistance. Today, the BTC price has reached a new high of $35,844. Traders and investors have assumed that when Bitcoin makes a new high, the king coin will make some form of correction. This correction gives room for a further upward move.
