Bitcoin Price Starts Consolidation
Bitcoin price gained bearish momentum below the $62,500 level. The price even dived below the $60,000 level. Finally, the bulls appeared near the $58,000 level.
A low was formed at $58,009 and the price is now consolidating losses. There was a minor recovery wave above the $58,500 and $58,800 levels. The price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $65,070 swing high to the $58,009 low.
Bitcoin is now trading below $61,200 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $59,650 level. The first key resistance is near the $60,000 level. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance at $60,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
A clear move above the $60,200 resistance might send the price further higher in the coming sessions. The next key resistance could be $61,500. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $65,070 swing high to the $58,009 low.
