Bitcoin (BTC) price is attempting to break the $90,000 level but is experiencing some resistance. Let’s take a quick look at why.
On the BTC/USDT 1-hour chart, we can see a block of sell orders at $90,000. As BTC price hits these demands, the selling adds some gravitas to the price momentum and the price falls slightly. Another request block can also be seen at $91,150.
Looking at the entire order book, we can clearly see how the $90,000 level is being defended.
Bullish traders would like to break above the $90,000 level to begin liquidating short positions that extend to $93,000 in this area.
Further evidence of this push to break $90,000 can also be seen in the surge in spot trading volume on Coinbase, where Bitcoin tends to trade at a premium.
