Bitcoin Faces Down a Pivotal Resistance Level<\/strong><\/h2>\nBitcoin is facing down a pivotal resistance level after the aforementioned price surge.<\/p>\n
One crypto-asset analyst, the head of technical analysis at crypto research firm Blockfyre, shared<\/a> the chart seen below amid the move higher. It notes that while Bitcoin is passing the crucial resistance at $12,000, it remains to be seen if it can pass and hold above the resistance in the $13,000 region, marked as “SUPPLY” on the chart:<\/p>\n“Leaving 1000 day range.

The leading cryptocurrency, after falling to $11,200 last week, surged as high as $13,250 on leading exchanges on Wednesday. The coin has since whipsawed since hitting those highs, dropping and rallying by hundreds of dollars below that high as investors gauge the direction of BTC.

One crypto-asset analyst, the head of technical analysis at crypto research firm Blockfyre, shared the chart seen below amid the move higher. It notes that while Bitcoin is passing the crucial resistance at $12,000, it remains to be seen if it can pass and hold above the resistance in the $13,000 region, marked as “SUPPLY” on the chart: “Leaving 1000 day range.
