Bitcoin has witnessed a high resistance at 27k after it tried severally to stay at 28k+ without any possible liquidity to help the price stay at that level, we may have to wait for some time before any significant market wave will push the price to cross 30k if possible before the end of the month as you speculated.
It's hard to expect $30k in March after a few failures to touch the $29k resistance. I think bitcoin is trying to defend $27k - $28k over the end of this month and I don't think it's time to expect higher prices. In the end $30k may will be touched, but I'd put a longer time frame and it's not in March anymore.
You're right about bulls trying to defend $27K-$28K in the past two weeks. At least now on Weekly time-frame there are only wicks below $28K and is starting to look like a bear trap below:
I'm not convinced $29K is specific resistance though, more like a potential resistance range between $28.5K to $30.5K. It was previous support back in May and there is "some" volume traded there over past couple of years. But otherwise, compared to volume traded below between $15K and $25K, the trading volume up to $40K is more or less insigificant.
-The volatility tendency of Bitcoin has made it hard for most of us soeculators to make accurate time guesses of bitcoin price instead we make ca ompound guespricesce time will now tell the reality of what the price of Bitcoin will be at a certain time.
It might be good to get $30k over a longer time frame, maybe in April or May if this uptrend maintain. But of course volatility can occur along the way which may be difficult for prevent the correction.
With price currently only 6% away from $30K, I don't think it'd be too surprising to see that reached in the coming days before the end of the month, rather than expecting some 1-2 month time-frame. Either way, it seems that a strong March close is on the cards meaning that we could easily see $30K tested in the first days of April, which could mean that by the end of the week reach that level.
I'm not necessarily saying that price will break through this level and stay there either, only that it's likely this old support will get tested to see if becomes new resistance sooner rather than later (especially with price consolidating below this level). If it takes 1-2 months before re-testing $30K, then I imagine it'd be based on a correction to 200 WMA old resistance area in order to turn it into new support.
