Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC/USD has little scope for growth as significant resistance lies at $5,225

  • BTC/USD is currently trading at $5,200 as markets opened this Wednesday.
  • BTC/USD has little scope for growth as significant resistance levels hamper bulls.

BTC/USD went up from $5,190 to $5,200 as markets opened this Wednesday. Three significant resistance levels are hampering the bulls, making further growth challenging even though they have momentum. On the negative side, if the bears can get past supports at $5,190 and $5,165, then the price may plummet down to $5,075 before it meets another moderate-strong support level.
