There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $38,650 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $36,217 swing low to $41,050 high is also near the trend line to provide support.
A downside break below the trend line support could open the doors for a larger decline below $37,000. The next major support is near the $36,000 level.
Fresh Increase in BTC?
If bitcoin stays above the trend line support, there are chances of a fresh increase above $39,500. An initial resistance on the upside is near the $40,000 level.
A proper break and close above the $40,000 resistance will most likely set the pace for a sustained upward move in the coming sessions. The next major resistance on the upside is near the $41,500 level.
