H1: Bitcoin Drops Below $27K as Resistance Remains Strong
Bitcoin (BTC) recaptured $27,000 on Friday morning, but resistance around $27,250 proved too strong. Bitcoin was rejected again on Saturday night after peaking at $27,450. However, this time, the $27,000 support level failed to hold, resulting in a drop to $26,836 on Binance and $25,105 on Bitvavo at the time of writing. This puts the bitcoin price down 1.2% today.

Despite OPEC+’s efforts, there are concerns that the rising US dollar may cause a risk-off situation, which may not bode well for bitcoin. In recent years, bitcoin has become a risk-on asset traded in tandem with the stock market.
H2: Bitcoin Support and Divided Analysts
According to analyst Ali Martinez, there is currently a lot of support between $26,360 and $27,170, as 1 million BTC has been bought here. It wouldn’t be surprising if bitcoin hangs between these prices next week. However, investors should keep in mind that the 200-week moving average is now around $26,450, which, if the price falls through, may signal a bearish trend.

While investors are still very cautious, analysts remain divided over bitcoin’s future direction. Some, such as Mikybull, see a bullish signal with the MACD on the daily timeframe indicating bullish momentum is about to set in. Others, such as Crypto Tony, maintain a short position as long as the price remains below $27,500.
