Bitcoin Price Eyes Recovery
Bitcoin price formed a base above the $25,400 support zone. BTC is now consolidating and slowly moving higher above the $25,650 level but it faces many hurdles.
The bulls were able to push the price above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $26,200 swing high to the $25,620 low. Besides, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $25,900 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
Bitcoin price is now testing $26,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. It seems to be facing resistance near the $26,000 zone or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $26,200 swing high to the $25,620 low.
The first major resistance is near the $26,150 level. A clear move above the $26,150 resistance might start a fresh increase. The next major resistance is near the $26,500 level. A close above $26,500 might start a move toward the $26,500 resistance zone.
