Bitcoin resumed its sideways trend and upward movement

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has remained stable above the psychological price level of $40,000, although it has been unable to break through the resistance level of $45,000.

Bitcoin price long-term forecast: bullish

Buyers have consistently protected the key support level of $40,000 and the 21-day simple moving average. When Bitcoin fell to a low of $40,508 on December 18, the bears attempted to break a key support level as well as the 21-day simple moving average. The bulls bought the dips as Bitcoin resumed its sideways trend and upward movement. At the time of writing, the BTC price had reached a high of $43,891.

On the upside, buyers are still planning to break through the $45,000 resistance level, which would allow Bitcoin to reach a high of $48,000. In the meantime, the BTC price is trading above the 21-day simple moving average but below the $45,000 high.

Bitcoin indicator reading

The bears tested the 21-day SMA support on December 18, but the bulls bought the dips. Had the bears been successful, the current rise would have ended.

Technical indicators:

Key resistance levels – $35,000 and $40,000

Key support levels – $30,000 and $25,000
