 <li>Bitcoin remains bullish, targeting $51,500.</li>
</ul>
Bitcoin (BTC), after hitting a high near the $50,400 mark, displayed a slight downturn, testing the $48,406 level. However, the largest crypto is currently <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/crypto-fear-and-greed-index-enters-extreme-greed-zone-amid-bitcoin-rally/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">striving to surpass</a> the $50,000 mark again amidst a backdrop of what analysts are terming a “golden bull phase” in the market.
Despite the prolonged setback, Bitcoin managed to surge above the $48,500 resistance level, briefly breaching the $50,000 threshold before encountering resistance. A new multi-week high near $50,300 was reached before a corrective move ensued, which was the highest level since January 2022.

The recent slight pullback in Bitcoin’s price coincided with the <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/u-s-january-cpi-at-3-1-triggers-speculation-on-fed-rate-cut-delay/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">release</a> of January’s consumer price index (CPI) data by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI stood at 3.1%, surpassing expectations of 2.9%, prompting a sharp correction across financial markets. Wall Street’s S&amp;P 500 Index witnessed a 1.37% drop, marking its worst CPI-day performance since September 2022.
Also, the global crypto market declined around 0.36%, with Bitcoin retracing to $48,472. However, currently, Bitcoin is trading above $49,550 and the 100-hourly simple moving average, with a key <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/microstrategy-mstr-soars-33-weekly-amid-bitcoin-price-surge/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">bullish trend</a> line forming around the $49,750 resistance level on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.&nbsp;

The immediate resistance is anticipated near the $49,900 level. If BTC successfully breaches the $50,000, it could initiate another significant uptick, with potential targets at $50,400 and beyond.&nbsp;
Conversely, if BTC fails to surpass $50,000, it might trigger another downward correction, with initial support at $49,200. Further downside could see Bitcoin testing support levels around $48,700, with a close below $48,400 potentially indicating increased bearish momentum and a downside target around $47,950.
