Bitcoin Price Faces Rejection
Bitcoin price made a couple of attempts to gain strength for a move above the $27,500 resistance zone. However, BTC failed to continue higher and slowly moved lower after the Fed interest rate decision.
The Fed kept the rates steady at 5.5% and it did not impact Bitcoin much. The price is now moving lower below the $27,200 level. There was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $26,656 swing low to the $27,495 high.
Bitcoin is now trading above $26,800 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $26,810 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
If the price remains stable above the trend line, it could rise again. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $27,280 level. The first major resistance is near the $27,500 zone, above which the price could gain bullish momentum.

The next key resistance could be near the $28,200 level. A close above the $28,200 resistance could push the price toward the $29,500 resistance. Any more gains might call for a move toward the $30,000 level in the coming days.
Downside Break In BTC?
If Bitcoin fails to start a fresh increase above the $27,280 resistance, it could continue to move down. Immediate support on the downside is near the $26,855 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $26,656 swing low to the $27,495 high.
The next major support is near the $26,800 level and the trend line. A downside break and close below the $26,800 level might spark more bearish moves and the price could decline toward the next support at $26,200.
