Bitcoin Price Faces Key Hurdles

The bulls were able to push the price above the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $113,372 swing high to the $110,039 low. However, the bears remained active near the $112,600 zone and prevented more gains.
The 76.4% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $113,372 swing high to the $110,039 low acted as a resistance.
