Bitcoin formed a high at $42,000 on January 8th 2021, which was then followed by a pullback. Price then broke above that high to create a new all-time high at $64,894 on April 14th 2021.
The buyers soon gave control back to the sellers, and in May 2021, price came down to $42,000 and used this level as support for a couple of days.
It did appear that this level was going to hold, but on May 19th 2021, price broke down through this level with a large bearish candle that came just points away from hitting $30,000.
Panic ensued, and ever since then, price has been in consolidation, bouncing around between $28,600 and $42,000.
Price now appears to be approaching $42,000 once again, and if the momentum pushes price hard enough to break out above this level, then we also want to see price move above the daily 200 simple moving average.
At the moment, Bitcoin continues to move sideways, but a breakout to the upside or the downside of the consolidation zone will give us an early indication of where price may be heading to next.
