Bitcoin Maintains Horizontal Trend And Remains Above $58,000

The Bitcoin (BTC) price has returned to the downtrend zone after failing to maintain positive momentum above the $65,000 mark.

BTC price long-term prediction: bullish

Today, the largest cryptocurrency has fallen below the moving average lines, reaching a low of $58,200. The decline was halted above $58,000 as Bitcoin has started to trade sideways above the current support level. In other words, Bitcoin is trading above the $57,000 support but below the $65,000 level.

However, BTC will trend once the boundaries of the trading range are broken. For example, if the bears break the current support of $57,000, the market will fall to its previous low of $49,000.
