Current Bitcoin Obstacles
As Bitcoin moves toward its current market value, key support levels become crucial indicators for future moves.

The most important thing to watch on the chart is whether traders and investors will be willing to pay higher prices and not just buy big dips. If there is no demand once the price moves higher, then a move to 56,000 becomes very likely. In other words, be wary of failed rallies.
