Bitcoin Price Extends Decline
After a spike towards the $38,500 zone, Bitcoin underwent a downside correction. It fell below the $37,200 level and reached a low of around $36,720 before consolidating its losses. The price then experienced a slight increase above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.

The first major resistance lies at approximately $37,570 or the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average. This level aligns closely with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level. The main resistance is now at $38,000 and a close above this point could initiate a strong upward movement.
