Bitcoin’s $50,000 Price Level
The $50k price level holds significant importance for BTC. Commenting on the recent price movement of BTC, Daniela Hathorn, Market Analyst at DailyFX, said: “As expected, Bitcoin saw some resistance at the psychological $50,000 mark last week, which led to a pullback towards $46,500, allowing new buyers a little bit of a breathing room. Momentum seems to be picking up once again but there is likely to be some strong resistance up until $55,000 as sellers battle to keep their positions, so further sideways consolidation cannot be ruled out within this $5,000 gap. A break above $52,700 would be a good sign that buyers are positioning themselves to tackle the next psychological resistance at $55,000.”
