Bitcoin price has consolidated after finding strong resistance at the $25,000 level. This year, the resurgence of the primary cryptocurrency’s price has been a major talking point, moving from $16k to $24k in a matter of weeks.
This trend continues as Bitcoin surpassed the $25k mark for the first time since August 2022 this week, and some experts have predicted that $30k could be the next resistance point. However, this was not the case, and Bitcoin quickly declined at $25k.
Bitcoin Price Undergoes Slight Correction Under $25,000
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $24,478 and has not been able to break the $25,000 level decisively. Due to the strong rejection at $25k, analysts believe that Bitcoin may enter a period of consolidation before making a new move.

Technical indicators also support sideways movements in the near term as both arms of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remain above the midpoint of 50. It should be noted that the latest price action coincides with a spike in bitcoin network activity which is close to an all-time high.
This coincides well with some bullish market sentiment and shows that a good part of the recent rally is based on strong fundamentals. However, given the current state of the market, a new narrative may be needed to push Bitcoin to new heights.
Bitcoin will likely remain in a consolidation phase until more investors see the asset’s potential. This indicates a balance in buying and selling pressure and signals an indeterminate market. So, Bitcoin is likely to remain in a tight range, only to break out when a strong catalyst comes.
Going forward, if bitcoin breaks the $25,000 level, it could lead to upward momentum. On the other hand, if it fails to break through, it could mean that the rally is over, and bitcoin will be at risk of a correction. Therefore, it is important that traders monitor the $25,000 resistance for possible breakouts or breakdowns.
Bitcoin Network To Experience Growth With Ordinal NFTs
The Bitcoin network continues to experience growth with the increasing trend of NFTs printed on the blockchain. NFT Ordinal began to be marketed through social networks at the beginning of the year.
So far this year, more than 130,000 NFTs, mostly images and text files, have been printed on the Bitcoin network, according to data from Dune. Although it is not known how much these NFT sales amount to, some documents estimate that collections like Ordinal Punks have fetched millions of dollars. This is, of course, through organized sales in private groups.
