Bitcoin Faces Resistance Near $38,500

Break Above Bearish Trend Line
There was a significant breakthrough as Bitcoin broke above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $37,250 on its hourly chart. This indicates a positive move for the BTC/USD pair.
Struggling to Clear Resistance
Despite the recent gains, Bitcoin is struggling to clear the $38,500 resistance level and is undergoing a correction. It reached a high of around $38,390 before the correction began.
Bitcoin Price Rebounds
After revisiting the support zone at $36,720, Bitcoin managed to avoid a collapse and started a fresh increase. It surged above the $37,000 level and broke through the $37,500 level as well.
The bears tried to push back near the $38,500 resistance level but were unable to overcome it. Bitcoin is currently trading above $37,500 and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average.
The immediate resistance lies near $38,200 followed by a major resistance forming near $38,400. The main resistance remains at $38,500. A close above this level could initiate a strong upward movement for Bitcoin.
Potential for Another Drop
If Bitcoin fails to break above the $38,400 resistance zone, it could potentially experience another decline. The immediate support on the downside is near $37,600.
