Bitcoin (BTC) price is crossing the moving average lines as it is rising. However, the rising trend was stopped by the 50-day line SMA. In other words, Bitcoin is trapped by the moving average lines.
Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bullish
The price of one bitcoin is currently $28,028. The price of BTC rose to a high of $28,452 yesterday before falling. Buyers have failed to keep the price above the moving average lines or the $28,000 resistance level. When the moving average lines are broken, the largest cryptocurrency will enter the downtrend; for example, the downtrend will resume when the bears get stranded below the 21-day line SMA. The market will fall and regain its previous low at $25,857. However, the rejection of the recent high will force Bitcoin to resume its movement between the moving average lines.
