Bitcoin Price Analysis Hints A Potential Bull Trap At $22500, Keep Holding?

The new year recovery in the Bitcoin price takes a halt after the breakout of $22500 resistance. Though this newly reclaimed level should have offered coin buyers a suitable footing to lead further rallies, the coin price is struggling to sustain at higher levels. The BTC price getting rejection at the $23000 mark indicates an upcoming correction phase.

Key points:

• Multiple rejection candles at $23000 suggest may the BTC price struggle to sustain the recent breakout 
• A bullish crossover between the 50 and 100 may assist traders in keeping bullish sentiment intact.
• The intraday trading volume in Bitcoin is $16.2 Billion, indicating a 1.5% loss

The Bitcoin price showcased a parabolic growth since the beginning of 2023, accounting for a 38% rally so far. During the bullish rally, the coin price breached several resistances, with growing volume indicating a sustained recovery phase.

Moreover, on January 20th, the BTC price witnessed a significant inflow and breached the latest horizontal barrier of $22500. This resistance breakout should have accelerated bullish momentum to encourage further growth, but it seems the sellers are actively defending the higher prices.
