In reference to Bitcoin Jack, the predictions for the trend of probable price, as stated by a trader of ‘NekoZ’ that in case the price declines to a mere $12k then it will be scary since their consolidation level is from 16k to 18k. He further added that the drop is very likely, considering the resistance usually sustains on day 1 and then fluctuates.

$20,000 As A Major Level Of Resistance

Once, Bitcoin surpasses the $20,000 mark, they will be looking for new highs that might range between $25,000 and $100,000 if the present cycle is maintained.

However, the current sellers of BTC are strongly defending the price levels in order for it to surpass that much-awaited $20k price.

High Rate Of Funding

The rate of funding for BTC ranges between 0.05% and 0.1%. The short-term sellers are aggressively driving up the price levels towards $20k.
