Fundamentals and past price performance
Bitcoin spent the past two days in a major pullback, with its price dropping as much as 23%. However, it seems that price levels have now stabilised as it found support, pushing the price up above $50,000 once again.

BTC/USD daily chart price analysis
After finally stopping its downturn, Bitcoin has now found strong support at the 21-day EMA for two days straight. The cryptocurrency is currently trying to recover from the recent price drop, with its price pushing above $50,000 and towards $52,000.
Bitcoin faces strong resistance at the $52,200 level, while it can find support in the 21-day EMA and the 38.2% Fib retracement level of $48,400.
BTC’s RSI on the daily timeframe has returned to the normal trading range, with its current value sitting at 57.96.
BTC/USD hourly chart price analysis
Zooming in to the hourly chart, we can see Bitcoin’s current struggle, as its price is contesting the 21-hour EMA to the downside and 50-hour EMA to the upside.
It’s safe to say that, once Bitcoin passed $50,000, there is a higher chance of BTC pushing up rather than down. Most analysts are calling for a push that will bring its price to between $53,100 and $53,500, depending on their exact analysis.
BTC is currently more inclined to push past the 50-hour EMA and contest the $52,213 level, if not to push higher.
