Bitcoin price analysis signifies the uptrend remains intact in the largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The price opened on a muted note bias but picked up the momentum and tested the highs of $24,898.91.

The price is trading in red for the past few hours as faces rejection near the double top formation around $24,900.

However, the buyers are looking for support toward the 20-day exponential moving average on the hourly chart. The broadening pattern implies swing price movement with high volatility.

• A corrective pullback could drag the price toward $24,200.
• A daily candlestick above $24,900 would bring more gains in the coin.

The bulls must hold $24,356.11 to be in the game on the four-hour chart. Further, an additional buying pressure could break the double top structure near $24,900. If that happens then the gates would be open for the high of June 13 at $26,895.84.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) holds above the mid-line with a bullish crossover. Any uptick in the indicator would strengthen the bullish outlook.

On the flip side, a break below the 20-day moving average would challenge the prevailing trend. On moving lower, the bears would first tag $23,500 followed by the lows of August 10 at $22,664.69

On the hourly time frame, the price formed a broadening pattern. A wide price movement is expected on either side.

A move above the 20-day EMA would pave the way for the next horizontal resistance zone at $24,900.
