Bitcoin Price Analysis
There was a solid buying interest emerged above the $6,000 level in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair formed a low at $6,131 and started an upward move. It gained pace and broke the $6,200 and $6,300 resistance levels. There was also a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $6,900 swing high to $6,130 swing low.
More importantly, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $6,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair is currently flirting with the $6,650 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Should there be an upside break above $6,800, there could be more gains in the near term. Furthermore, a break above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $6,900 swing high to $6,130 swing low may perhaps clear the way for $7,000.
