  • Bitcoin price dived with bearish moves and retested the key $3,540 support area against the US Dollar.
  • There is a crucial declining channel in place with resistance at $3,585 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • A break above the channel resistance and $3,600 could spark more upsides in the near term.
  • On the downside, the main supports for buyers are near $3,540 and $3,500.

Bitcoin price is consolidating above key supports against the US Dollar. BTC buyers are eyeing the next bullish break above the $3,600 resistance area in the near term.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

There were a couple of rejections noted near the $3,600 resistance in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair declined recently and broke the $3,570 and $3,550 support levels. The price even broke the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3,538 low to $3,635 high. However, the decline was protected by the key $3,540 support area. A low was formed near the $3,534 and later the price bounced back above the $3,550 level.

Buyers pushed the price above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,632 high to $3,534 low. However, there is a strong resistance formed near the $3,585 and $3,600 levels. The 100 hourly simple moving average is also near the $3,585 level. More importantly, there is a crucial declining channel in place with resistance at $3,585 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,632 high to $3,534 low is at $3,583.

Therefore, a break above the $3,585 and $3,600 resistance levels is a must for an upside acceleration. The next key resistance is near the $3,630 level, above which the price could rally towards the $3,700 level. An intermediate resistance is $3,655 and the 1.236 Fib extension level of the recent decline from the $3,632 high to $3,534 low.
