Bitcoin Price Analysis

In the past few days, there were positive moves in bitcoin price above the $6,000 level against the US Dollar. BTC even surpassed the $6,200 resistance and settled above the 55 simple moving average (4-hours).

It traded as high as $6,931 before correcting lower. The price retested the $5,700 support area and traded as low as $5,665. It is currently rising and trading above the $6,220 resistance level.

There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $7,931 high to $5,665 low. However, the price seems to be facing a lot of hurdles on the upside, starting with $6,800.

It is currently consolidating near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $7,931 high to $5,665 low. Besides, there is a major contracting triangle forming with resistance near $6,820 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair.

If there is an upside break above the triangle resistance, the price could rise above the $6,931 swing high. In the mentioned case, the price may perhaps rise above the $7,000 resistance and continue higher.

The next key resistance is near the $7,300 area and the 1.236 Fib extension level of the downward move from the $7,931 high to $5,665 low. Any further gains could lead the price towards the $7,500 resistance area.

On the other hand, the price could decline from the $6,800 resistance level. An initial support is near the $6,485 level, followed by the triangle support at $6,300. If there is a downside break below $6,300, the price might even slide to $6,000.
