On May 12th, the Bitcoin price showcased a breakdown attempt from the monthly support of $27000-$26786. However, by the day’s end, the daily candle surged back above the aforementioned support with closing, indicating the buyers continue to defend this support level. As a result, the coin price rose 2.5% in the last three days and reached the current price of $27456. However, is this reversal enough to resume the prior recovery rally in BTC?

Key Points:

  • A Bitcoin price needs a breakout above the resistance trendline will assist buyers to kickstart recovery.
  • The 100-day EMA nearing $27000 will increase the support strength of this level
  • The intraday trading volume in Bitcoin is $13.3 Billion, indicating a 44% gain.

Over the past two months, the Bitcoin price witnessed its fourth reversal from the $27000-$26786 support indicating that traders are aggressively accumulating at this level. This reversal hints at a potential upswing for a week, which could push the price to overhead resistance.

Thus, the potential rally may surge the price by 5% and hit the overhead resistance trendline(red trendline). This resistance trendline is leading the ongoing correction in the world’s largest cryptocurrency offering sellers the opportunity to sell on bullish rallies.

Therefore, a breakout above the overhead trendline is crucial for Bitcoin buyers to resume the price recovery phase.

On a contrary note, if the coin price shows a reversal sign at the falling trendline, the BTC holders could experience a long correction phase.
