Bitcoin Correcting Losses
Recently, there was a steady decline in bitcoin from well above the $6,500 support against the US Dollar. BTC price even broke the key $6,200 support area and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
The bears were able to push the price below the $6,000 support area. The price traded as low as $6,846 and it is currently correcting higher. There was a strong recovery wave above the $5,950 and $6,000 levels.
Bitcoin surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $6,875 high to $5,846 low. Moreover, there was a break above a key declining channel with resistance near $6,080 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
The pair is now trading near the $6,200 resistance area (the previous support). On the upside, there are many key hurdles, starting with $6,300. The main resistance is near the $6,350 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $6,875 high to $5,846 low is also near the $6,360 level to act as a key hurdle for the bulls.
If the bulls gain pace above the $6,300 and $6,350 resistance levels, there are chances of a steady rise in the coming sessions. The next major resistance is near the $6,500 and $6,650 levels.
Limited Recovery
