If the price manages to break above the first level of resistance this level we can see an upside movement to the next level of resistance in the next trading sessions.
In Closing
Currently, Bitcoin is experiencing a downtrend and can become sideways in the next trading sessions.
If the price successfully breaks through these resistance levels, we can anticipate a stronger upward trend to a sideways trend in the upcoming trading sessions. However, if the resistance levels are not breached, the market may shift into a bearish trading session.
Traders should consider these key support and resistance levels to enter long or short positions following the price break from the key levels. Also, traders can combine moving averages for more accurate entry and exit points.
