Bitcoin Eyes ‘Golden Cross’ Ahead of Fed, Key Economic Data: What Lies Ahead?

Bitcoin has been in a consolidation phase around the $34,000 level following last week's rebound, maintaining its recent gains within a pivotal price range.

However, the long-term chart shows another important resistance line on this path.

Let's check the weekly chart for a longer-term perspective. Bitcoin has been in a bear market for two
