Bitcoin Price Prediction
The BTC/USD price ranges within a narrow $12k zone with caps at $40-$42k on the upper side and $30k on the lower side.
As of writing, the Bitcoin price is above the intra-range resistance (now support) of $35k, fanning optimism of a break above $42k for a new all-time high.
While every low may present an opportunity for traders to load the dips, a surge past $40k may provide the necessary impetus for $50k. From the 4HR-chart, bars are reversing are building on the conspicuous bull bar of Jan 29 with decent average volumes.
The immediate support is the middle BB and Jan 29 lows of $30k. However, a sharp break above $40k with high trading volumes exceeding those of Jan 29’s bull bar builds a case for $42k and even $50k in the medium term.
Contraction from spot rates will see the BTC/USD price tumble back below $35k to $30k.
