How is Bitcoin (BTC) Looking Today?
Bitcoin is currently trading above the support at $27,000 and is again looking a bit bullish in on the micro timeframes. As highlighted in our previous analysis, Bitcoin is now struggling to hold the support at $27,000, and if it manages to stay above this by the end of the day, it will be a good sign for the price action. The $27K region has plenty of significance as it is the area that has been held for the past month. Once the price breaks below it with healthy volume, a corrective move towards the $25,000 is highly likely. Let’s take a quick look at the latest Bitcoin Price Prediction Daily (18-May-2023) to see where the price will be headed next in the short term.

BTC has been respecting this zone since last month, and the price is struggling to move out of it. The coming week could be crucial for Bitcoin because if the price fails to hold the $27,000 mark, this zone will finally be broken, and BTC will retest the $25,000 mark.

On the other hand, if Bitcoin manages to hold the $27,000 mark and starts to gain momentum, we could see another retest of the $3K zone. The moves seem unlikely at the moment, but if the retest does happen, there is a high chance Bitcoin will break above $30,000 this time.
The next target to eye in that scenario is the $35,000 mark. It is an area that has acted as both support and resistance in the past.
