The $31,000 level has proven to be a significant resistance point for Bitcoin. Over the past few weeks, the bulls have tried and failed multiple times to break this level. Each failure has resulted in a price correction, with the most recent one being the most significant. After a failed attempt by the bulls to challenge the $31,000 mark, Bitcoin has tumbled down to nearly $30,500, leaving investors and traders on the edge of a bearish correction ahead of CPI release.
Is Bitcoin Price In Trouble?
On-chain analytics firm Glassnode has recently conducted an analysis indicating that Bitcoin is at a pivotal point in its current market cycle. The study by Glassnode shows that Bitcoin is currently stabilizing around the $30,000 level, a crucial midpoint in the 2021-2023 cycle. The importance of this price point is underscored by its repeated testing in past cycles, highlighting its historical significance.
As the crypto community chats about the 2024 Bitcoin halving, another significant market event is on the horizon this year. The trustee of the compromised Bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, is slated to reimburse the exchange’s creditors by October 2023. Industry observers concur that this event will force investors to stay away from Bitcoin investments.
However, long-term bulls have not left the field as spot ETF applications hold their confidence, and SEC could approve it anytime. Vance Spencer, CEO of Framework Ventures, has expressed on his personal Twitter account that the much-awaited spot Bitcoin ETF is expected to receive approval by the end of this year, if not sooner.
He suggests that once this happens, similar ETF products could provide investors with exposure to other cryptocurrencies as well. Hence, Bitcoin could experience a skyrocketing trend before the halving event.
What’s Next For BTC Price?
Bitcoin rebounded from the 100-day EMA at $30.1K and triggered a short-term correction. However, the correction intensified when the BTC price broke above the $30.5K level. Following this, Bitcoin gained a spike in buying pressure and broke above $31K, which triggered a sharp decline. Currently, bulls are again attempting a surge as the price makes a surge above $30,500 and is currently trading at $30,639, with an uptick of 0.99% from yesterday’s rate.
To avoid a decline, bulls need to drive the price toward the resistance zone between $31,000 and $31,500. This zone is expected to face significant selling pressure, but if the bulls manage to surpass this hurdle and $32.5K, the BTC price could surge toward the next key resistance at $40,000.
On the other hand, if the price dips and falls below the 100-day EMA, it could prompt numerous short-term bulls to lock in profits. The price might then drop to $29,600. A correction below this level would indicate a steep consolidation with $26,800.
