Bitcoin price action traded sideways for more than a week now, with the $31,000 mark serving as strong resistance. Meanwhile, strong support has also been set at $29,000, indicating a clear consolidation area that needs to be broken before further market development can be expected.

Additionally, the previous high was set at the same level as the one before, further indicating indecision in the market. Therefore, the current test of $29,000 is likely to result in another retest of the resistance.

Overall, this means that the next 24 hours should see some bullish momentum. However, if a break higher cannot be done, BTC/USD will likely continue consolidating further over the rest of the week.

Bitcoin price analysis: Conclusion 

Bitcoin price analysis is bullish today as we have seen a reaction from the $29,000 major support once again. BTC/USD should bounce from there later today and move back to the $31,000 resistance.
