The Bitcoin (BTC) price has made a bullish push, rising above the 21-day SMA and reaching a high of $61,600.

Long-term forecast for the Bitcoin price: bearish

Today, bulls are struggling to sustain their bullish momentum above the 21-day SMA. Should the 21-day SMA support hold, the largest cryptocurrency will rise above the 50-day SMA and reach a high of $64,500.

On the downside, Bitcoin could fall if the current support of $55,000 is broken. The market will reach the psychological price of $50,000 again. Bitcoin is currently worth $61,600.
