A clear move above the $21,200 resistance might send the price towards the $22,000 resistance. Any more gains open the doors for a steady increase towards the $25,000 resistance zone.
Downside Correction in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to rise above the $21,200 resistance zone, it could start a downside correction. An immediate support on the downside is near the $20,700 zone.
