Bitcoin is consolidating after making a five-month high. The recent rally couldnt break above the $23,500 level, which could pave the way for a minor dip toward the $22,000 region. There are too many big macro events ahead that Bitcoin wont do much of anything. When all the dust settles from Q4 GDP, the Feds preferred inflation gauge, and the FOMC decision, strong resistance should come from the $25,000 level. Bitcoins rally is about to get very interesting or it could be ripe for a short-term pullback, said Edward Moya, a senior market analyst at OANDA, in a note seen by Benzinga.
Crypto analyst Michal van de Poppe said Bitcoin has failed to break through the crucial resistance level of $23,100. As a result, Bitcoin is likely to test and sweep through the support level of $22,300before any potential continuation of its upwards trend.
#Bitcoin couldn’t break through a crucial resistance at $23.1K.
If we continue to make LHs, we’ll probably test and sweep around $22.3K before continuation.
