Resistance near $50,000 to $55,000 could stall the recovery given short-term overbought signals.
Bitcoin (BTC) remains in a long-term uptrend despite the sharp 50% correction from the all-time high around $63,000 in April. Buyers were able to defend support around $30,000 after a two-month consolidation phase, which resolved to the upside. Bitcoin faces resistance near $50,000 to $55,000, which could stall the recovery given short-term overbought signals.
The chart below shows an ascending channel, which is formed from the 2017 price high near $16,000 and the 2021 price high around $63,000. The 2019 and 2020 price lows formed rising support as buyers reacted to oversold conditions.
Unlike the 2018 bear market, bitcoin (BTC, +1.58%) is currently holding above the 40-week moving average, which reflects renewed upside momentum. Bitcoin will need to form a decisive break above $55,000 to fully resolve the selling pressure from May.
