Bitcoin (BTC) has resumed its downward trend after failing to hold above the $80,000 support level.
BTC Price Long-Term Prediction: Ranging
Since May 6, the largest cryptocurrency has been trading within a range, remaining above the moving average lines but below the $82,500 mark. Buyers were unable to sustain bullish momentum above the $82,500 high. The price was rejected three times at the $82,500 peak, leading to the decline.
On the downside, bears have broken through the $80,000 and 21-day SMA support levels. As a result, Bitcoin may fall further, possibly to $75,000 or the 50-day SMA support. If the BTC price falls and remains above the 50-day SMA support, the cryptocurrency will be confined to a narrow range. Today, Bitcoin is at $76,875.
