However, the bulls were active around the $26,000 support level. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $24,532 swing low to $28,361 high also acted as a strong support.
Bitcoin price started a fresh increase above the $26,500 resistance. There was also a break above a major contracting triangle with resistance near $26,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair is now trading above the $27,000 level.
An initial resistance on the upside is near the $27,275 level. A clear break above the $27,275 resistance could open the doors for a fresh run towards the $28,000 and $28,400 levels in the near term.
Fresh Drip in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to clear the $27,275 resistance level, it could correct lower. An initial support on the downside is near the $26,800 zone and the broken triangle trend line.
The first major support is near the $26,500 level. The main support is still near the $26,000 level, below which there is a risk of a sustained downward move in the coming sessions.
