The past week has been very eventful. All of this has had a significant impact on the crypto market. Let’s take a look at the chart of the first cryptocurrency and see if we can expect growth in the next 7 days:

Over the past week, Bitcoin has been trying to hit the $60,000 mark. Once he succeeded, but at this time sellers became more active and drove the price down. As a result, bitcoin shifted to a sideways movement and this allowed the altcoin season to begin.

This situation on the chart is unstable. Now we can say that neither buyers nor sellers have dominance. This complicates the whole picture.

While Bitcoin is in the upward channel. As soon as the price breaks through the lower border and consolidates below it, a fall may begin. The nearest resistance is the $50,000 level.

However, it is possible that we are now witnessing the accumulation of position before further growth. To do this, you need to break through the $60,000 level and fix above it. After that, the price can go up sharply by 10% – 20% up to $70,000 – $72,000.
