Josh Rager Sees Bitcoin Price Consolidation
Prior to Jacob Canfield’s short term prediction for Bitcoin, the popular cryptocurrency analyst, Josh Rager also aired his opinion as BTC seemingly prepares to move for higher and challenging resistance levels.
In his analysis, he said $8,170 and above is a significant area that will determine the possibility of Bitcoin facing higher price challenges.
He stressed the importance of $8,170 support to the further price uptrend of Bitcoin, stating that the next strong resistance to surpass is $8,750. He added that a price downtrend below $7,700 is bearish for BTC.
He said, “…$8170s is a significant area for Bitcoin to break and close above on higher time frame charts. It’s been an important support/resistance and high volume area (POC) for trading. Next resistance to break is $8750 And things get bearish below $7700s.”
