Bitcoin Faces Resistance at $48,000
The price of Bitcoin made a strong upward move, surpassing the $45,500 resistance level. This surge was triggered by a tweet from a hacked SEC account that falsely claimed ETF approval. However, the price faced rejection near the $48,000 zone and started to decline. It dropped below the $47,000 and $46,500 levels before finding support at $45,000.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading above $45,500 and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average. On the hourly chart, there is a major contracting triangle forming with resistance around $46,800. The immediate resistance level is at $46,400, followed by $46,800 and $47,200. If these resistance levels are breached, the price could continue to rise towards the next major resistance at $48,000.
If Bitcoin fails to break above the $46,800 resistance level, it may experience further losses. The immediate support on the downside is at $45,550, with a major support level at $45,200. A drop below this support could lead to bearish momentum and a potential decline towards the $44,800 support.
