Sellers reacted with a series of sell-offs, causing the price to pull back to support the 2-hour EMA55. This morning, bulls will continue their attempts to keep the race going, and if the growth is supported by large volumes, then the next maximum is possible in the region of $52,000.
If the bullish momentum turns out to be weak, then the high will be followed by a pullback to the support of $46,000.
Bitcoin is trading at $51,550 at press time.
