Bitcoin price started a downside correction below $65,000 against the US Dollar. BTC must climb above the 100 hourly SMA and $66,500 to start a fresh increase.

  • Bitcoin started a downside correction below the $66,000 and $65,000 levels.
  • The price is now trading below $66,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $65,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The pair could start a fresh increase if there is a clear break above $66,000 and the 100 hourly SMA.
