BTCUSD Technical Outlook
Looking at the daily chart, we can see resistance at $58,500. The Bitcoin price has struggled to close above this level since breaking below it on the 18th of April.
A close above the $58,500 resistance is likely to trigger follow-through buying, targeting the 14th of April ATH.
Below the market, support is seen at the 4th and 5th of April lows of $53,000. The 100-Day Moving average lends additional support at $52,670. A close below this level would negate the bullish outlook.
