Long-Term Resistance
Nevertheless, on higher time-frames, the price continues to face resistance from the bearish trend-line following the 2017 All-Time High in prices. Crypto trader, Josh Rager, tweeted,
$BTC daily trendline from 2017 still in play on logarithmic line chart Gotta close it out above $10k bulls
Veteran trader, Peter Brandt, highlights the trend-line along with the local tops around $13,800 and $10,500 in the previous bull runs. A break-out above these levels could be significantly bullish for the price.
Tuur Demeester, a financial analyst and partner at Adamant Capital markets the current levels post the 2019 break-out above $4,200 as the re-accumulation zone, he tweeted,
12 months ago bitcoin broke out of its accumulation phase, and re-accumulation started. A break out of this band will likely ignite another parabolic rally.
Nevertheless, if the bulls fail to break above the current levels, the price could likely revisit support the $4,000-$4,500 range. Currently, $10,000 is forming a strong psychological and technical barrier to the bulls. As the uncertainty stays put, short-term volatility will look to drive out over-leveraged positions on either side, short or long.
