Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance
Bitcoin price managed to stay above the $82,000 level. BTC formed a base and recently started a recovery wave above the $85,000 resistance zone.
There was a move above the $86,500 resistance zone. The bulls pushed the price above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $92,872 swing high to the $80,595 low. However, the bears seem to be active below the $90,000 zone.
Besides, there is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $89,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now trading above $87,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.
If the bulls attempt another recovery wave, the price could face resistance near the $88,500 level. The first key resistance is near the $89,000 level and the trend line. The next resistance could be $90,000 or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $92,872 swing high to the $80,595 low.
A close above the $90,000 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $92,500 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $93,200 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $94,500 and $95,000.
