Bitcoin Price Analysis

Earlier this month, bitcoin price topped just above the $10,000 level against the US Dollar. BTC traded as high as $10,069 and started a strong downside correction below the $9,565 support zone.

There was a sharp decline below the $9,080 support zone and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The price even broke the $8,400 support zone and tested the next major support near the $8,250 level.

A swing low is formed due to a spike at $8,114 and the price is currently recovering. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $10,069 swing high to $8,114 low.

On the upside, bitcoin price seems to be facing a strong resistance near the $9,080 and $9,120 levels. The 55 simple moving average (4-hours) is also near the $9,120 level to act as a key hurdle. More importantly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $10,069 swing high to $8,114 low is at $9,092.

Therefore, an upside break above the $9,080 and $9,120 resistance levels is needed for a fresh increase in the near term. In the mentioned case, the price could surge above $9,200 and even test the $9,500 and $9,600 levels.

Conversely, the price could restart a downward move below $8,600. On the downside, the first major support is near the $8,400 level. There is also a crucial bullish trend line forming with support at $8,410 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair.
