An initial support is near the $58,250 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $53,797 swing low to $59,623 high. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $59,500 level. The next key resistance is near the $60,000 level. A clear close above the $60,000 level could open the doors for a larger increase towards $61,500 in the near term.
Fresh Dip in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to continue higher above the $60,000 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. The first key support on the downside is near the $57,500 level.
The main support is now forming near the $57,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Any more losses might call for a test of the $55,000 support zone in the coming sessions.
