PriceBitcoin (BTC) price has been moving sideways but recovered on January 4. The largest cryptocurrency rallied and broke through the $17,000 resistance level.
Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bearish
Bitcoin reached a high of $17,008 but failed to maintain its upward trend. After the initial resistance, the BTC price continued to fluctuate below this level in the last 48 hours. If buyers can keep the price above the resistance and the uptrend continues, BTC/USD will rise to the next resistance of $18,391. However, it is possible that Bitcoin will continue to trade in a range as long as the resistance at $17,000 is not broken. In other words, Bitcoin/USD will now resume its movement between $16,260 and $17,066. At the time of writing, the BTC price is at $16,828.
