A successful close above the $29,350 level might spark a decent increase. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise toward the $30,000 level.
If not, Bitcoin might decline further and trade below the $29,000 support. The next major support is near the $28,500 level. If there is a downside break and a close below $28,500, Bitcoin might revisit the $27,500 zone in the coming days.
