BTC is breaking the $50,000 resistance level

Bitcoin (BTC) bulls are closing on breaking the $50,000 resistance level. Today, in the first attempt BTC price rose to $50,244 high and pulled back. On February 17, at the time of writing Bitcoin reached $51,127.

Bitcoin Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish

Despite the pullback, buyers have continued to push the price above the psychological price level. Yesterday, buyers pushed the price to a high of $50,490 but were repelled. After the resistance, the daily candlestick closed with a long wick. The long upper shadow indicates that there is a strong selling pressure above the $50,000 resistance. In other words, buyers attempted to bid the price higher but sellers came in to push the price down near the open price. 

In yesterday’s price action, BTC’s price fell from $50,490 to a $48,000 low. In today’s price movement the resistance was broken but buyers are struggling to sustain the bullish momentum. The cryptocurrency is making a fresh upward move. Analysts have opined that if the $50,000 resistance is breached, Bitcoin will have an accelerated price movement on the upside. Nonetheless, if the bulls break the $50,000 resistance and bullish momentum is sustained, this will propel the price to rise and rally above the $60,000 high. However, if BTC price faces another rejection, the market will drop to as low as $44,000. Meanwhile, the price has broken above the resistance as Bitcoin reached a high of $50,880 at the time of writing.
