Listen to Article
  • Bitcoin price topped near the $8,950 level and recently corrected lower against the US Dollar.
  • The price declined below the $8,700 and $8,620 support levels to enter a short term bearish zone.
  • There is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $8,300 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The pair must stay above the $8,300 support area to start a fresh increase in the near term.

Bitcoin price started a downside correction below $8,600 against the US Dollar. BTC is likely to test the 100 hourly SMA or $8,300 before it starts a fresh upward move.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

Recently, we saw a solid rise in bitcoin price towards the $9,000 resistance against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair traded close to the $8,960 level and formed a new swing high at $8,952. Later, it started a downside correction below the $8,800 and $8,700 levels. There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $7,900 low to $8,952 high. Moreover, there was a break below a key declining channel with support near the $8,600 level on the hourly chart.

An initial resistance is near the $8,600 level, above which the price might test the $8,710 channel resistance.
