As of the first quarter of 2023, Bitcoin (BTC) has shown impressive performance as one of the top-performing assets. The cryptocurrency is currently on track to surpass the $29,000 level, with market uncertainty reducing following the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) rate hike. 

Bitcoin is setting its sights on the next major milestone of $30,000. Breaking through the resistance level at $28,600 could pave the way for further gains and allow Bitcoin to reach levels lost during the crypto winter of 2022.

Bitcoin’s price has held the $27,000 support well, indicating intense buying pressure at that level. However, according to a recent post by the trader and analyst Rekt Capital on Twitter, the price is struggling to break through the higher high trendline resistance, as seen in the chart below, preventing it from reaching new highs.

The analyst suggests that breaking through the $28,500 price point would be a critical bullish trigger, indicating a solid buying momentum by the bulls and potentially paving the way for further price increases. 

If Bitcoin were to lose the $27,000 support level, it would signal a bearish trend. Nevertheless, Bitcoin was able to bounce back before the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announcement, recovering from the $26,600 level. This recovery should be a significant support level for any future decline in Bitcoin’s price, along with the $25,200 floor.

Furthermore, suppose Bitcoin continues to struggle to make new highs. In that case, it could be a sign that the market needs a pullback to gather strength before moving higher, like the pullback and further short squeeze that happened in February, falling from the $25,000 resistance. 

A dip in Bitcoin’s price could be a healthy development for the most significant crypto in the industry, as it would allow the market to reset and potentially create a stronger foundation for the next leg up. 

According to a recent blog post by analyst Justin Bennet, Bitcoin has already tested the macro resistance level during Wednesday’s FOMC volatility period, which is placed at $28,900. 

Bennet suggests that “liquidation clusters,” which refer to a concentration of investors forced to sell their positions due to margin calls or liquidation events, can often serve as a magnet for Bitcoin. 

According to Bennet, more long liquidations are below current levels than short liquidations above $29,000. This suggests that there may be more selling pressure in the market, which could lead to further price decreases. 

In a downtrend scenario for the most prominent cryptocurrency in the market, the $25,200 will serve as a critical trench for bulls, along with the 200-day moving average, if they want to keep control of the current trend in the market. On the other hand, Bitcoin has held well in the $26,000 zone, which can serve as a minor pullback to retest the macro resistance level and reach the $30,000 milestone. 

Despite its recent dip in price, Bitcoin has seen a 17% increase in value so far in March, having rallied from its monthly low of under $19,800 on March 10. Year-to-date, Bitcoin’s value has increased by 66%, noting the importance that the cryptocurrency has recorded in the past months amid the financial banking crisis.
