Bitcoin chart analysis
The price of Bitcoin continued to rise yesterday to the $26529 level. After that, we see a pullback to support at the $25800 level. We managed to get that support and make a slight positive consolidation, and now we are within reach of the $26,000 level. We have additional support in the EMA50 moving average, which could be positively reflected in the continuation of the movement. Potential higher targets are $26500 and $26600 levels.
We need a negative consolidation and a drop below the support at the $25800 level for a bearish option. The price would also pull back below the EMA50 moving average, which would add to the bearish pressure. Potential lower targets are $25600 and $25400 levels.
