BTC/USD

Bitcoin’s Price is Under Pressure

Bitcoin’s price has held well above the $21,000 support level. BTC established a base above $21,000 and began a consolidation period.

A slight upward movement occurred above the $21,250 and $21,350 levels. The price broke through the $21,500 barrier and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the other hand, the bears were active near the $21,640 resistance level. The 23.6% Fib retracement level of the main slide from the $24,415 swing high to the $20,797 low appears to be strong resistance. Bitcoin trades over the $21,200 mark and above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

On the upside, the $21,500 and $21,640 levels provide immediate resistance. The first big obstacle on the upside is located near $22,000. If the price breaks over the $22,000 resistance zone, it may rise towards the $22,500 resistance zone. On the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair, a strong negative trend line is forming with resistance near $22,500.

The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the main slide from the swing high of $24,415 to the low of $20,797. Any further advances might push the price to the $23,000 resistance level.

Bitcoin Price Drop?

If Bitcoin fails to break over the $22,000 barrier level, it may continue to fall. On the downside, there is immediate support near the $21,000 level.

The next significant support is now at $20,800. A decisive break below the $20,800 support level and the previous swing low could trigger a new downturn. The price may fall near the $20,000 mark in the mentioned instance.
