The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has been fluctuating within a small range between the $80,000 support and below the $87,500 resistance or moving average lines.
Long-term forecast for the BTC price: bullish
Bulls and bears have been engaged in a price war near the 21-day SMA level. The bears managed to push the cryptocurrency below the 21-day SMA, but the bulls broke the 21-day SMA barrier for the third time.
The bears’ plan is for Bitcoin to fall to the $80,000 support level before dropping to the $77,500 low. As the bulls have broken the 21-day SMA barrier, Bitcoin is gaining today. Bitcoin price will rise to the 50-day SMA or to the high of $90,000 if the buyers maintain the positive trend. The positive trend will continue until it reaches the high of $95,000.
However, the barrier of $87,500 has rejected the upside moves. If this barrier is broken, Bitcoin will rise again. The Bitcoin price is at $85,206.
