Bitcoin Bulls Must Conquer Critical Resistance Zone

Bitcoin's recent recovery has reached a critical juncture as it tests a crucial resistance zone formed by its 1-day 20-period moving average and the 50-week moving average (MA). According to TradingShot analysis, this level is the key barrier between a bear phase and a new bull cycle.

The analyst noted that Bitcoin's current setup resembles the conditions that preceded sharp declines in January and May of this year. A weekly close above the 50-week MA is the key condition needed to confirm a new Bitcoin bull market and signal the start of a fresh bullish cycle.

However, if Bitcoin fails to break through resistance, the analyst warned that the cryptocurrency could follow a path similar to previous bearish legs seen earlier this year. Using Fibonacci extension projections, the analysis identified a downside target of approximately $61,500.
