Bitcoin Price Prediction: Can Bitcoin Price Go Up or Down?

The return above $40,000 could set the framework for gains towards $45,000. Meanwhile, the technical analysis shows that the bulls are ready for action especially when the up-trending Relative Strength Index (14) is considered. Any further bullish movement above the 9-day moving average could pave the way for the gains toward the resistance levels of $45,000, $50,000, and $55,000.

On the downside, if the price falls back below the $35,000 level and moves to cross below the channel, the bears may wrestle out control over the situation very quickly. This may likely serve as a major blow for the market sentiments as traders could interpret it as a sign of underlying weakness. The next important supports may come at $31,000, $27,000, and $22,000.

Moreover, if the buyers could energize and push the price above the channel, the Bitcoin price could test the resistance level of $45,000 and above. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (14) is currently moving around 40-level, but when it turns down; the bears could step back into the market and may bring the price to the support level of $36,000 and below.
