Bitcoin Price Analysis
Yesterday, there was a downside extension below $10,000 in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair traded to a new monthly low at $9,679 before the bulls took a stand. There was a major reversal pattern formed and the price climbed sharply above the $10,000 and $10,500 resistance levels. It even cleared the $10,850 resistance area and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Moreover, yesterday’s crucial declining channel was breached with resistance near $10,120 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair surged above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last major drop from the $12,310 high $9,679 swing low. It is now trading nicely above the $11,400 level and the 100 hourly SMA. An immediate resistance is near the $11,700 level.
Moreover, the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last major drop from the $12,310 high $9,679 swing low might act as a resistance. If there is an upside break above the $11,700 level, bitcoin price is likely to test the $12,000 resistance. Any further gains could push the price towards the key $12,500 resistance area.
On the downside, an immediate support is near the $11,400 level. However, the main support is near the $11,200 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If the price fails to stay above the 100 hourly simple moving average, it could correct lower towards the $10,800 support area. Any further losses might push the price back towards the $10,200 support area.
