The overall market still struggles to regain its bullish momentum after a strong retracement of over 25 percent was set from the all-time high of $65,000. Support was found around the $47,000 mark on the 23rd of May.

From the $47,000 support, BTC made several moves higher until resistance was found around the $59,000 mark. After moving sideways for several days, BTC made another move lower on the 12th of May as further upside was rejected.

From there, the Bitcoin price dropped by 20 percent until support was found around the previous major support level at $47,000. Yesterday, Bitcoin found resistance around $51,500 after an initial push higher. After another brief retest of the $47,000 mark later, the market reversed overnight and started moving higher once again.

Since we have seen a further move higher over the past hours, we can expect Bitcoin to move above the $51,500 previous resistance and potentially push higher to the $53,000 major resistance.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Conclusion 

Bitcoin price prediction is bullish as the market retested the $47,000 support late yesterday and currently has moved back above the $50,000 mark. Therefore, we expect BTC/USD to push higher later today to reach back towards the $53,000 next major resistance.
