The importance of confirmation lies in the fact that a false breakout can lead to significant losses for traders. If the price breaks through resistance but there is not enough buying power to sustain the move, Bitcoin could quickly return to previous levels, frustrating bullish expectations. Similarly, if the price breaks through support but there is not enough demand to absorb the supply, Bitcoin could fall further, hurting investors who had bet on the bearish move. In short, Bitcoin is at a crucial juncture, with an imminent breakout that could define the future of the cryptocurrency. However, confirmation is essential to avoid pitfalls and unnecessary losses.
At the time of publication, the price of Bitcoin was quoted at US$97.652,97, up 0.8% in the last 24 hours.
