Bingbon’s Bitcoin Chart
Source: TradingView& Bingbon
Bitcoin is now less volatile, trading sideways in the $54,500 – $56,000 range. The narrow range indicates that Bitcoin price is likely to face larger gains or declines in the short term. Near-term pressure is around $58,000. Once BTC breaks through this position, it will continue towards the $60,000 target. Conversely, if BTC falls below $54,500, it will have to seek further support around $51,500. Any positive or negative news will further magnify price volatility.
