Immediate resistance is near the $30,250 level. The next major resistance is near the $30,500 zone. A close above the $30,500 resistance might start a fresh increase. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise toward the $31,200 level. The next key resistance is near the $32,000 level, above which the bulls might aim for a move toward the $33,500 level.
Downside Break in BTC?
If Bitcoin’s price fails to clear the $30,500 resistance, it could start a downside correction. Immediate support on the downside is near the $30,000 level.
The next major support is near the $29,400 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $28,200 swing low to the $30,577 high. A downside break and close below the $29,400 support might push the price back toward $28,800 or the 100 hourly Simple moving average. Any more losses might call for a drop toward the $28,200 support zone.
