Bitcoin Price Analysis

This past week, bitcoin price made an attempt to gain strength above the $7,300 area against the US Dollar. However, BTC failed to continue higher above the $7,300 area and formed a top at $7,310.

As a result, there was a fresh decline below the $7,200 and $7,000 levels. There was also a close below the $7,000 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The decline was such that the price traded below $6,800 and a low is formed near the $6,744.

It is currently consolidating losses above the $6,800 level. Bitcoin price seems to be testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $7,310 high to $6,744 low.

The first key resistance on the upside is near the $6,980 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The next resistance is near $7,030 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $7,310 high to $6,744 low.

More importantly, there is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $7,220 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. A successful break above the $7,030 level is needed for a push towards the $7,220 and $7,300 resistance levels.

Conversely, the price might start a fresh decline below the $6,800 level and the $6,744 swing low. In the mentioned case, there is a risk of a downside thrust towards the $6,600 support area. Any further losses may perhaps initiate a larger decline towards the $6,000 support.
