Bitcoin Holds Gains Above $42,500 Level
Bitcoin price has managed to hold its gains above the $42,500 pivot level. It is currently trading above $42,800 and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average. On the hourly chart of BTC/USD, a key bullish trend line is forming with support near $42,900.
Bitcoin Price Eyes Fresh Increase
Bitcoin experienced a downside correction below the $44,000 level but found support near the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $41,427 swing low to the $44,465 high. The cryptocurrency is still trading above $42,800 and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average.
Currently, Bitcoin’s price is rising and showing positive signs above the $43,000 level. Immediate resistance is seen near $44,200, with major resistance forming near $44,450. A close above the $45,000 resistance could start a strong upward move.
Are Dips Limited In BTC?
If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $44,450 resistance zone, it could face another decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $42,900 level and the trend line. The next major support is near $42,580 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level.
In case of a move below $42,150, there is a risk of more downsides with potential drops toward the $41,500 support in the near term.
