Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC Prepares For A 26% Upside If Daily Price Closes Above This Level

Bitcoin (BTC) price trades with mild losses on Saturday. The price opened lower but quickly reverses the action and touched the day’s high at $40,300 after six days. However, the rally fizzled out quickly as BTC retraced back to $39,000. Thus the price is moving sideways with no meaningful price action.

  • Bitcoin (BTC) price tracks lower on Saturday.
  • Expect an upside of 26% if the price closes above $40k.
  • Momentum oscillators warn of any aggressive bids.

In the recent development of the Russia-Ukrain war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has been reported to offer a high-level negotiation talk with Ukraine as he told to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. On Friday, Nasdaq rose 1.64%, Dow Jones ended higher with 2.51%, and S&P 500 gained 2.24%.

As of press time, BTC/USD is trading at $39,024.07, down 0.58% for the day. The world’s largest and most famous currency held the 24-hour trading volume at $25,591,014,322.26 with a loss of 30%.

BTC price looks for bullish reversal

On the daily chart, Bitcoin (BTC) price after losing nearly 65% from the record highs made in November at $69,000, the price is looking to form a base in pursuit of another 26% upside from the current levels.

The ascending trend line from the lows of $32,933.33 acts as reliable support for BTC bulls. BTC retraced almost 35$ after making swing highs at $45,855. As this time BTC meets the buyers near $34,322 signaling bulls making a comeback and could push the asset back to the upside territory.

A daily close above the psychological $40,000 level would first capture the highs made on February 17 at $44,195.62 followed by a $48,000 horizontal line.

On the flip side, BTC still trades below the crucial 50-day and 200-day EMAs (Exponential Moving Average) at $41,529 and $45,847.64 respectively. Further, a failure to hold the session’s low could test the bullish slopping line at $36,220.

Technical indicators:

RSI: The Daily Relative Strength Index (RSI) reads at 46 with a neutral bias.

MACD: The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) hovers below the midline receding bearish momentum.
