What could be next for bitcoin? Well, a move to support above $24k or below $22.5k is possible before a slow grind pushes it higher again. But according to the pseudonymous analyst Mustache, $28k is much more achievable.

Between 24k-28k there is nothing but air.This would hurt most bears out there tbh.🎯 pic.twitter.com/4TKqqNv7FC
