Bitcoin Price is Gaining Momentum
After a close above the $55,000 resistance, bitcoin extended its rise above $56,000. BTC settled nicely above the $55,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

On the upside, the price is likely to face sellers near the $58,000 zone. A clear close above the $58,000 resistance will most likely start a strong increase. The next target for the bulls could be $60,000 in the near term. Any more gains could lead the price towards the $62,000 level.
Dips Supported in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to clear the $58,000 resistance, it could correct lower. The first key support is near the $56,200 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $54,318 swing low to $58,140 high.
The main support is near the trend line and $55,500. Any more losses might call for a test of the $55,000 support level. If the bulls fail to defend the $55,000 support zone, the price is likely to dive towards the $52,000 support in the coming sessions.
