Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance
Bitcoin price started a fresh decline below the $107,500 zone. BTC gained pace and dipped below the $106,200 and $106,000 levels.
There was a clear move below the $105,000 support level. Finally, the price tested the $103,500 zone. A low was formed at $103,400 and the price started a consolidation phase. It climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $108,925 swing high to the $103,400 low.
However, the bears were active below the $105,000 zone. Bitcoin is now trading below $105,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $104,850 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $105,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $105,500 level. The next key resistance could be $106,150. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $108,925 swing high to the $103,400 low.
