Bitcoin Price Analysis

In the past few days, there were steady downsides in bitcoin price from well above $9,000 against the US Dollar. BTC traded below many key supports near the $8,500 and $8,400 levels to move further into a bearish zone.

Moreover, there was a break below the $8,380 support and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The recent decline was such that the price even tested the $8,000 support area and formed a new monthly low at $7,982.

At the outset, the price is correcting higher above $8,100. It is trading near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $8,641 high to $7,982 low. If there is a break above $8,140 and $8,180, the price could continue to correct higher.

The next key resistance is near the $8,310 level since it coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $8,641 high to $7,982 low. The main downtrend resistance for bitcoin price seems to be near the $8,380 level.

Additionally, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $8,380 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. Therefore, a successful close above the $8,380 and $8,400 levels is needed for a strong recovery in the near term.

Conversely, the price could struggle to correct above $8,180 and $8,380. If it fails to break the $8,380 resistance area, the bears are likely to take over again. An initial support is near the $8,000 area, below which the price is likely to dive towards $7,750 or $7,600.
