As reported by Coingape a couple of weeks ago, BTC/USD plummeted massively amid a selloff in the global markets due to fears surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic. At the time, gold dived to $1,480/Oz while stock markets in the US, Asia, and Europe took a big hit.
Bitcoin Price Primes For A Rally
Bitcoin price has spent the last couple of weeks finding balance after the disappointing plunge to levels under $4,000. There was a delay in the recovery when consolidated took precedence between $5,000 and $6,000. However, a breakout on Friday tested $7,000 resistance, making it a critical pivot point. The support at $6,000 has been tested and confirmed.
Meanwhile, BTC/USD is trading at $6,573 amid a short term building bearish momentum. The price is teetering above the moving averages, whereby the 100 SMA in the 4-hour range is in line to provide support at $6,257 and the 50 SMA at $5,982. The gap between the moving averages is narrowing with the 50 SMA likely cross above the 100 SMA. This shows that buyers have an upper hand.

A break is needed above the critical $7,000 to pave the way for gains towards $8,000. However, a return to $6,000 level is likely to achieve more yields by creating fresh demand for BTC at a lower price, in turn, catapulting the price above $7,000 and shifting the focus back to $8,000.
