That is not to say that retracement moves have been missing, but the price been trading higher highs and higher lows. Bitcoin recently achieved highs around $5,343 but failed to sustain further correction to the upside. The correction from the highs initially found support at $4,800 before BTC/USD reversed the trend above $5,200.

The trading yesterday tested the short-term support at $5,200 before reversing the trend once again. The ongoing bullish momentum is likely to test $5,300 and eventually beat the resistance congestion at $5,343. In the event, the trend turns bearish, expect Bitcoin to be supported at $5,200. If this level is cleared, $5,000 will come in rescues of the bulls while $4,800 will give the buyers solace before they push for another correction.
