Bitcoin Likely To Regain $9K
Bitcoin seems to be forming a strong base above the $8,670 and $8,700 levels against the US Dollar. BTC price is currently rising and it recently broke a couple of key hurdles near the $8,800 level.
The price even settled above the $8,800 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the bulls are again struggling to gain momentum above the $8,960 and $9,000 resistance levels.
A high is formed near $8,957 and the price is correcting lower. It is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $8,676 low to $8,957 high. On the downside, an initial support for bitcoin is near the $8,840 level.
The next major support is near the $8,800 area and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $8,676 low to $8,957 high. More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $8,780 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
On the upside, there are key hurdles visible near the $8,960 and $9,000 levels. A successful close above the $9,000 barrier could really shoot the market sentiment in favor of the bulls. The next major resistance is near the $9,090 level, above which the price is likely to accelerate towards the $9,500 level.
