Bitcoin Price Prediction – May 12, 2021<\/strong>
Since May 1, BTC\/USD<\/a> 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.<\/p>\r\n

Resistance Levels:<\/strong> $65,000, $70,000, $75,000
Support Levels:<\/strong> $50,000, $45,000, $40,000<\/p>\r\n

Bitcoin price prediction: Can BTC\/USD Reclaim $58,000?<\/h2>\r\n

Today in our bitcoin price prediction we see that BTC 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.<\/p>\r\n

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.

Hungary Plans to Reduce Bitcoin Tax Cut as Part of Economic Recovery Program<\/strong>
Cryptocurrency investors in Hungary will be having tax relief soon. This is coming as lawmakers seek to make the central European country more competitive in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lawmakers are planning to cut taxes on Bitcoin gains in half, possibly as early as 2022.<\/p>\r\n

The Finance Minister Mihály Varga has indicated the government’s stimulus program for 2022. Given the post-COVID-19 relief efforts, lawmakers are also considering reducing taxes on cryptocurrency trading to 15% of income. The previous tax rate was 30.5%. The purpose of tax reduction is to make Hungary a competitive jurisdiction concerning crypto-based capital gains taxes.<\/p>\r\n
