Bitcoin’s 2020 uptrend has once again extended even further, allowing the cryptocurrency to set fresh year-to-date highs earlier today when BTC rallied to over $9,800 before tapping some strong resistance that halted the rally.
Despite the overt bullishness of this movement, it is imperative to note that BTC was rejected at its range highs, signaling that this rally may soon stop dead in its tracks before turning into another downtrend.
One analyst believes that the downtrend resulting from rejection at these range highs will lead BTC all the way down to $7,500.
Bitcoin’s momentum stalls after it taps range highsAt the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading up over five percent at its current price of $9,660, which marks a notable climb from daily lows of $9,200, and a slight retrace from intra-rally highs of over $9,800.
This rally came about after a multi-day downtrend that led Bitcoin from highs of $9,650 to lows of $9,100, which is where bulls began stepping in and absorbing the intense selling pressure, subsequently leading to today’s uptrend.
Although on the surface today’s extension of the momentum seen throughout 2020 seems to be highly bullish, it is imperative to note that BTC was rejected at its range highs of roughly $9,800 today, signaling that this could be a local high.
C2M, an analyst focused on the crypto derivatives market, elucidated these range highs in a chart, showing that these range highs were set in November of last year.

“BTC: Looking at the same range on a daily time frame price: 1. Pumped 2. Broke first resistance 3. Was stopped with surgical prevision on second resistance. Above it’s party time, strong rejection and we are testing lower side of range again.”
