Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance
Bitcoin has once again failed to break through the crucial $36,000 resistance zone. The cryptocurrency is currently trading above $35,000 and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a recent breakout above a significant contracting triangle with resistance near $35,000 on the BTC/USD pair’s hourly chart (data feed from Kraken).
Bitcoin Attempts Increase
Bitcoin’s price remained steady above the $34,000 support area and attempted to climb above the $35,250 resistance zone. It even surpassed the $35,500 resistance but met selling pressure near the $36,000 mark. The price declined below $35,500 and is currently correcting gains.
It is now trading above $35,000 and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average. If it stays above $35,200, there could be another upward move. The immediate resistance lies near the $35,560 level.
Possible Downside for Bitcoin
If Bitcoin fails to surpass the $35,560 resistance zone, it may continue to move downwards. The initial support on the downside is around the $35,200 level, followed by the critical support at $35,000 or the 100 hourly SMA.
If there is a break below $35,000, it could result in further downsides with a potential revisit of the $34,000 support level in the short term.
