Bitcoin price is now trading above $60,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. It is also well above the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $58,441 swing low to the $61,555 high. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $61,200 level.
The first key resistance is near the $61,500 level. A clear move above the $61,500 resistance might send the price further higher in the coming sessions. The next key resistance could be $62,500.
The next major hurdle sits at $63,500. A close above the $63,500 resistance might spark more upsides. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $65,000 resistance.
