Bitcoin Price Eyes More Gains
Bitcoin price started a fresh increase above the $102,500 zone. BTC gained pace and was able to climb above the $103,200 and $103,500 levels to enter a positive zone.
The bulls pushed the price above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $106,470 swing high to the $98,276 low. It opened the doors for a push above the $106,000 resistance and the price tested the $106,500 zone.
Bitcoin is now trading above $105,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is also a bullish trend line forming with support at $106,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $106,500 level. The first key resistance is near the $107,200 level. The next key resistance could be $108,500 or the 1.236 Fib extension level of the downward move from the $106,470 swing high to the $98,276 low.
A close above the $108,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $110,000 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112,000 level.
