bitcoin price rockets higher btc

Bitcoin price is up more than 10% and showing signs of a strong reversal against the US Dollar. However, BTC must continue above $7,500 to start a larger rally.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

After a steady decline, bitcoin spiked below the $6,600 and $6,500 support levels against the US Dollar. However, losses in BTC were limited below $6,500 (as warned in yesterday’s post – Bitcoin (BTC) Bears Remain in Driver’s Seat but Bulls Not Done Yet).

A new monthly low was formed near $6,435 before the price started a strong reversal. There was a sharp rally and the price surged above many resistances near $6,800 and $7,000.

Moreover, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $6,700 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair even settled above $7,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Finally, it spiked above the $7,200 and $7,300 resistance levels. Bitcoin traded close to the $7,500 level and a new intraday high was formed near $7,487. At the moment, the price is correcting gains below $7,300.

Additionally, there was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent upsurge from the $6,435 low to $7,487 high. On the downside, there are many supports near $7,150, $7,100 and $7,000.

The main support is near the $6,950 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upsurge from the $6,435 low to $7,487 high is near the $6,960 level.

Therefore, dips remain well supported on the downside near the $7,000 and $6,950 levels. On the upside, the price is facing key hurdles near $7,400 and $7,500. A successful daily close above $7,500 would make the case for a larger rally towards $8,000 and $8,200.
