Technical Analysis

Bitcoin continues to move higher and is trying to settle above the resistance level at $48,000. RSI remains in the moderate territory, and there is plenty of room to gain additional upside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.

A successful test of the resistance at $48,000 will open the way to the test of the next resistance level at $50,000. In case Bitcoin gets above the key resistance at $50,000, it will attract more speculative traders and head towards the next resistance level which is located at $51,500.

A move above the resistance at $51,500 will open the way to the test of the resistance at $53,000. If Bitcoin manages to settle above the resistance at $53,000, it will move towards the next resistance level at $55,000.

On the support side, Bitcoin needs to get back below $48,000 to have a chance to develop downside momentum in the near term. The next support level for Bitcoin is located at the 20 EMA at $47,300.

If Bitcoin declines below the 20 EMA, it will head towards the support at $46,000. A successful test of this support level will lead to a test of the support at the 50 EMA at $45,500. If Bitcoin declines below the 50 EMA, it will continue its downside move and head towards the support level at $44,000.
