Bitcoin price long term forecast: bearish
Bitcoin buyers failed to redeem the cryptocurrency as they failed to keep the price above the $22,000 resistance. On the other hand, Bitcoin could have risen above the moving average lines or the high of $23,400 if the buyers succeed above the high of $22,000.

Bitcoin will continue to fall to the lows of $18,912 and $17,605.
