Bitcoin Outlook to Help Traders
Currently, BTC is trading at around $67,000 at the start of the Asian session and is about to delve deeper into the daily imbalance, extending from $67,937 to $70,024. This area is also home to the 2021 all-time high (ATH) at $69,138, coupled with the downtrend line connecting the highs formed since March 14. These two key levels will serve as resistance to the ongoing uptrend.
- A rejection here could likely cause another altcoin crash and the collapse of the new hope.
- Bitcoin price quickly breaks through the resistance confluence and attempts to retest the ATH at $73,949.
The first scenario could see a major red streak in the markets, with altcoins posting double-digit losses. However, if the second outlook comes true, some altcoin sectors will experience a massive increase in liquidity and volatility.
