Our last Bitcoin (BTC) price prediction has come true as the main crypto showed a sharp rise close to $7,300. The price of the coin has also remained unchanged since yesterday.

Looking at the hourly time frame, Bitcoin (BTC) is facing a short rollback after a yesterday’s rise. The need for a correction is also supported by a decline in trading volume and the Bollinger Bands. In this regard, traders might expect a decline to around $7,000, followed by continued growth. If the main crypto fixes below $7,000, then the growth scenario will be cancelled.

Looking at the bigger chart, the nearest resistance level is $8,000. Based on the current strength of Bitcoin (BTC), the price is unlikely to get to that level quickly.




What is more, a Triangle pattern has been formed, which is usually a bearish sign. The upcoming drop is also accompanied by a decreasing trading volume, which confirms that the buyers are running out of options. Respectively, the closest support level is around $6,500, which might be achieved next week.


At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $7,152.
