Bitcoin is back in the game
(note: the post contains data by Cointelegraph)
Bitcoin's price rallied sharply after United States Consumer Price Index (CPI) data came in lower than forecast. The CPI data was unchanged from last month, and the year-on-year figure of 3.3% showed a slowdown from the previous pace of 3.4% — both 0.1% lower than forecast.
Bitcoin plummeted below the 20-day exponential moving average ($68,700) on June 11 but found support at the 50-day simple moving average ($65,982).
The bulls aggressively purchased the dip to the 50-day SMA and pushed the price above the 20-day EMA. This suggests that the BTC/USDT pair may oscillate inside the tight range between $66,500 and $72,000 for some time.
Buyers will have to catapult the price above the $72,000 to $73,777 resistance zone to seize control. That will open the gates for a rally to $80,000 and eventually to $88,000. On the downside, a slide below the 50-day SMA could start a downward move to $60,000.
