Bitcoin Price Analysis

Bitcoin price started a fresh increase after it found support near the $36,000 zone. BTC formed a base and moved above the $37,500 resistance to start a steady recovery.

There was a clear move above the $38,000 resistance and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). Besides, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $38,000 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair.

The pair even surged above the $42,000 resistance. However, the bears appeared near the $45,520 zone. A high is formed near $45,519 and the price is now consolidating gains.

There was a move below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $36,264 swing low to $45,519 high. It is now consolidating near the $43,500 level. An immediate resistance is near the $44,200 level. The next major resistance on the upside is near the $45,500 level.

To start another increase, the price must settle above the $45,500 level in the near term. If not, there might be a downside correction below $43,000. The next key support is near the $41,000 level.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $36,264 swing low to $45,519 high is also near the $41,000 level. If the price fails to stay above $41,000, it could extend losses in the near term. The next major support sits near $40,000, below which there is a risk of a move towards the $38,000 level.
