Bitcoin Price Prediction: Would Bitcoin Go Up or Face Down?

The Bitcoin price is still finding it difficult to touch the $45,000 resistance as the coin is settling in a tight range between $39,000 and $42,000 around the lower boundary of the channel. Meanwhile, when the new uptrend movements are forming, buyers could use the 9-day and 21-day moving averages as the nearest support levels. But in as much as the 9-day MA is below the 21-day MA, the coin may continue to trade at the downside.

Furthermore, if the market decides to go down, the Bitcoin price may drop below the lower boundary of the channel and traders may see a further drop to $32,000, $27,000, and $22,000. On the contrary, the Bitcoin price may cross above the 9-day MA to hit the resistance levels of $50,000, $55,000, and $60,000 as the signal line of the Relative Strength Index (14) prepares to leave the current location and cross above the 35-level.

Moreover, if the price breaks above this resistance level, it could therefore touch the resistance level of $44,000 and above. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (14) is currently on its way towards the 50-level, but any bearish movement may re-introduce sellers into the market which could drag the market price to the support level of $38,000 and below.
