Breaking: Bitcoin price scrapes $44K: Is $50K next as BTC crosses the midline of a weekly supply zone?

FXStreet Team FXStreet

Bitcoin (BTC) price has scraped the $44,000 psychological level as the fear of missing out (FOMO) continues to drive the cryptocurrency market.

Effectively, the move has seen BTC break above the midline of a supply zone stretching from $40,517 to $46,972 on the weekly timeframe. Typically, a break and close above the midline of such a supply barrier confirms the continuation of the primary trend. Investors should watch for a close.

Meanwhile, the odds continue to favor the upside. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains inclined to the north, suggesting momentum is still rising.

Increased buying pressure above current levels, therefore, could see Bitcoin price overcome this supply barrier, flipping it into a bullish breaker, in a move that could set the tone for Bitcoin price to target $50,000 next. Such a move would constitute a 10% climb above current levels.

Nevertheless, considering BTC is already massively overbought, investors should not be surprised if a pullback happens. Experts evaluate the potential for a correction to the $30,000 psychological level even as markets continue to front-run spot BTC exchange-traded fund (ETFs) approvals.
