Bitcoin bulls are hoping to see the digital currency bounce off its current $6,000 support levels after it dipped below the $6,000 mark, but has risen over 8% since then. Bitcoin’s current price stands at $6,450.59 as of 12:00 p.m. ET–up 0.27% the past 24 hours.
Technical analysts are closely watching whether the digital currency can break through its current price levels–specifically, a move past a resistance level of $6,800 could signal another bullish trend.
“BTC is bouncing from critical support at its 2018 trading range lows between 5775-6000 and is beginning to reverse its August downtrend. A move above first resistance between 6545-6842, near the declining 15-dma, is needed to suggest recent strength is anything more than a minor bounce,” wrote Rob Sluymer, technical strategy at Fundstrat Global Advisors.
