<h2 id="bitcoin-price-prediction">Bitcoin Price Prediction</h2> 
<a href="https://cryptonews.com/coins/bitcoin/">Bitcoin</a>‘s market trends show a strong stance, persistently maintaining above the pivotal $43,000 mark. This resilience is underlined by a substantial support level at around $43,000. Should the price ascend, it faces resistance near $43,500, $44,700, and $46,000. 
If a downward trend occurs, support at approximately $42,200, $41,500, and $40,500 could provide a cushion. 
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at about 64, indicating a bullish trend but still shy of the overbought zone, suggesting potential for further growth. Bitcoin Price Chart – Source: Tradingview 
Bitcoin’s price trajectory consistently stays above the 50-Day Exponential Moving Average, currently near $42,300, supporting a short-term bullish trend. 
The chart displays an upward trendline starting from a recent low around $39,500, pointing to continuous bullish momentum. Given these factors, Bitcoin is anticipated to soon test the resistance around $43,500. 
A breakthrough above this resistance level could lead Bitcoin to confront and possibly surpass additional resistance levels in the near future.
