Bitcoin Price Turns Red
Yesterday, we saw a steady increase in bitcoin price above the $10,800 level against the US Dollar. BTC price even climbed above the $10,900 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
However, the bulls failed to gain strength and there was no upside break above $11,000. As a result, there was a fresh bearish reaction and the price declined sharply below the $10,800 support.
There was also a break below a major bullish trend line with support at $10,690 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair declined below the $10,500 level and settled well below the 100 hourly simple moving average.

A low is formed near $10,451 and the price is currently correcting higher. It broke the $10,550 level, plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $10,931 high to $10,451 low.
The first key resistance on the upside is near the broken trend line at $10,700. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $10,931 high to $10,451 low. The next key resistance is near the $10,800 level, above which the bulls might attempt another upside break at $11,000.
More Losses in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to recover above the $10,650 and $10,700 levels, there are high chances of more downsides in the near term. An initial support is near the $10,451 low.
The first major support is near the $10,350 level, below which the price could slide towards the main support at $10,250. Any further losses may perhaps call for a test of $10,000.
