Bitcoin Holds Support Above $36,000
The current Bitcoin price is maintaining gains above the $36,000 support zone and is trading below $37,000 and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average. A key bearish trend line is forming with resistance near $36,600 on the BTC/USD pair’s hourly chart.
Bitcoin Price Attempts to Clear Resistance
Bitcoin made an effort to clear the $37,500 resistance but failed to continue higher toward the $38,000 resistance. After reaching a high near $37,423, the price started a downside correction. It declined below the $36,500 level but remained above $36,000 with a low formed near $36,183 before rising again.
The price is currently trading below $37,000 and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $36,600 on the BTC/USD pair’s hourly chart.
On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $36,600 level. The next key resistance could be near $36,800 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $37,423 swing high to the $36,183 low.
In this case, Bitcoin could test the $37,500 level and potentially rally toward $40,000 if it surpasses this level.
Potential for Another Decline in BTC
If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $36,800 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Immediate support on the downside is near the $36,180 level while major support is at $36,000. Further decline could lead to a drop toward key support at $35,500 in the near term.
Technical indicators show that the MACD is gaining pace in the bullish zone while RSI for BTC/USD is now below the 50 level.
