Bitcoin (BTC) price is making a consolidated move in the middle of the week. BTC faces multiple hurdles near the critical $45,000. Above average volume, however, as price creeps higher suggests that some retracing in price will set off a new directional bias.
The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is trading slightly lower on Wednesday. Expect more gains if the price breaks decisively above the bearish trendline. Investors look for bargains near consolidation.
The largest cryptocurrency ranked with a 24-hour trading volume of $21,282,060,115, down 12% for the day.
According to the recent update, Bitcoin’s overall liquidity has been squeezed as the overall BTC balance on exchanges declines. BTC liquidity has hit a six-month low. Analyst sees it as a bullish catalyst for the cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin tries to test $48,000
On the daily chart, Bitcoin (BTC) price, after rising nearly 40% from January lows, finds a strong position near the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $42,418. The declining trendline from the December highs of $52,100 acts as a strong resistance barrier for the bulls.
