Fibonacci-focused traders would be interested to note that Bitcoin is oscillating around the key Fibonacci resistance level of $27,264. Asset volatility analysis shows that Bollinger Band® analysis indicates that current price action is approaching the upper band at $28,380, thereby suggesting that Bitcoin is becoming overvalued. Following today's trading session, chart analysis suggests Bitcoin could be slowing down soon; it is getting close to the resistance line and is now at $27,500, only $249.63 away.
