Bitcoin Fluctuates in a Range as Buyers Push on the Upside – August 31, 2021
Bitcoin (BTC) has continued to hover above the $47,000 support as buyers push on the upside. The bears have broken below the crucial support as bulls bought the dips. The downtrend would have resumed if price breaks the current support level and the bearish momentum is sustained. As bulls bought the dips, they have failed to break above the $49,000 resistance.

Today, BTC’s price is rising above the $47,000 support as bulls bought the dips. Buyers will push the BTC price to retest the previous high. However, the upward moves are always resisted at the $49,000 high. This has been the price action for the past week. Following the rejection at the $50,000 high, BTC price now fluctuates between $47,000 and $49,500. The upside momentum will resume if the buyers breach the $49,500 resistance. For the past week, the bulls have retested the recent high on four occasions but were resisted. However, if the bears succeed in breaking the current support, the market will decline. Perhaps, the downtrend will resume.
