Bitcoin Price Takes Hit
Bitcoin’s price failed to rise above the $37,800 resistance zone and started to decline after news of Binance’s settlement and CZ stepping down. The decline saw the price drop below $37,000 and break a key bullish trend line with support around $36,980 on the BTC/USD hourly chart from Kraken. The pair even dipped below $36,500 and reached as low as $35,645 before consolidating losses.
The price recovered slightly and is now consolidating around $36,000. It’s trading below the 100 hourly Simple moving average, with immediate resistance at $36,500.
A close above $36,700 resistance could signal an increase to $37,000 with further highs potentially reaching $37,500 or higher to $37,800. If, on the other hand, it fails to rise above the $36,700 resistance, there could be a fresh decline with support levels around $36,000 and $35,650. If it drops below $35,650, it may reach $34,700 or lower at $34,200.
