Key levels:

Resistance Levels: $52,000, $54,000, $56,000

Support Levels: $43,000, $41,000, $39,000

Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Price May Reclaim $48,000 Resistance

In the past few hours, after the Bitcoin price begins the upward movement, the king coin is now facing the resistance level of $47,500 and looking forward to reclaiming the resistance level of $48,000. However, the daily chart reveals that if the 9-day moving average remains above the 21-day moving average, this will confirm the next direction that the coin will follow. In other words, BTC/USD may decline if the $45,000 support breaks down but the price could rise if the $48,000 resistance is reached.

At the time of writing, the technical indicator Relative Strength Index (14) remain above 40-level to indicate a bullish movement. Therefore, if the Bitcoin price crosses above the moving averages, it could hit the resistance levels of $52,000, $54,000, and $56,000 but any movement towards the lower boundary of the channel could hit the supports at $43,000, $41,000, and $39,000.
