It also attempted to go up in price further and passed the $7,415 and line but got stopped out at the $7,525 level. After hitting a wall, Bitcoin’s price returned below $7,415 which now acts as its immediate resistance.


Even though Bitcoin has seen its price go down on the daily overview, it still made progress to the upside over the weekend.
