Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is currently struggling to breach certain resistance levels to reach fresh highs, with analysts and traders expressing little optimism about its future performance.
What Happened: Renowned crypto analyst DonAlt forecasted a complacency bounce for Bitcoin, predicting it will continue until the cryptocurrency is back above $68,000. He detailed that the crypto king has chopped through the nearest support/resistance level, a common occurrence when the market is in "giga chop mode."

Chopped through the nearest S/R level, as is customary when the market is in giga chop mode
We're floating above a very shitty support, below a somewhat shitty resistance
