New 2023 High Achieved
Despite macroeconomic headwinds and regulatory issues surrounding cryptocurrencies ,Bitcoin has achieved a new high for 2023 by reaching 25000 USD . This is quite impressive considering that during middle June 2020 ,the last time this height was achieved ,it dropped from 19000 -21000 USD before stabilizing there .
Outlook
If bulls break through the 25000 USD resistance level then they will likely surge past 25200 USD with no significant resistance ahead up until 30000 USD . However if neither side dominates then we can expect further consolidation around 24000 USD until further developments arise .
