A high is formed near $50,190 and the price is currently consolidating gains. An initial support is near the $48,500 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $43,064 low to $50,190 high.
On the upside, the price is likely to face a strong resistance near the $51,000 and $52,000 levels. A successful daily close above the $52,000 level is must for upside continuation. In the stated case, bitcoin price might revisit the $55,000 resistance in the near term.
Fresh Dip in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to continue higher above the $50,000 and $51,000 resistance levels, there could be a fresh decline. The first key support on the downside is near the $48,000 level.
The next major support is near the $46,500 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $43,064 low to $50,190 high. If the bulls fail to protect the $46,500 support zone, there is a risk of a sharp decline towards the $43,000 support zone.
