Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction: BTC/USD Is in a Deadlock as It Is Range Bound Between $54,000 and $60,000

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction – May 12, 2021
Since May 1, BTC/USD has been fluctuating between $54,000 and $60,000 price levels. Buyers retested the $60,000 overhead resistance twice. On Each retest, the market would fall to the $54,000 low. This has been the price action since March 13, when Bitcoin first attained the $60,000 psychological price level. The breakout above $60,000 overhead resistance and the sustenance of the bullish momentum will determine the second round of upside momentum.

Resistance Levels: $65,000, $70,000, $75,000
Support Levels: $50,000, $45,000, $40,000

Today, the BTC price has broken and closed above the moving averages. The implication is that the market will rise to retest the $60,000 overhead resistance. This is possible if the buyers reclaim the $58,000 crucial support level. In some cases, buyers will find penetration difficult at this level. At other times, the bulls will break this level but the bullish momentum will dry up above the $60,000 high. This has been the bullish scenario since March 13. The bottom line is that Bitcoin lacks buyers at higher price levels. For about two months, BTC/USD has been unable to overcome the $60,000 overhead resistance. If buyers succeed above the $60,000 high, it will signal the resumption of upside momentum.
