Hot Take: Bitcoin Faces Resistance at $28,000
Bitcoin’s price struggles to gain momentum above the $27,800 resistance level. While there was an attempt to recover from the support zone of $27,200, it failed to surpass the resistance near $28,000. The bears remain active and if the price fails to hold above the support at $27,200, it may experience further declines. On the upside, a breakthrough above $28,000 could signal another increase in price towards $28,500 and potentially even higher levels.
