The bears pulled Bitcoin (BTC) below the 200-day simple moving average ($45,218) on Aug 12 but they have not been able to sustain the lower levels. The bulls have pushed the price back above the 200-day SMA today, indicating buying on dips.
If buyers propel the price above the resistance line of the wedge, the BTC/USDT pair could rally to $51,500. This level may act as resistance but if bulls do not give up much ground, the uptrend may reach $60,000.
The rising 20-day exponential moving average ($41,743) and the relative strength index (RSI) just below the overbought zone suggest that bulls are in the driver’s seat.
If the price turns down from the resistance line of the wedge, the bears will smell an opportunity. The first sign of weakness will be a break and close below the 20-day EMA. Such a move could open the doors for a further decline to the critical support at $36,670.
Lastly please check out the advancement’s happening in the cryptocurrency world.
Enjoy the issue!
