Bitcoin Upward Trendline Breakout - Strong US Dollar In Play

Bitcoin price has remained supported and could see another rise above the $20,500 resistance level. Following the Fed rate hike, the price of bitcoin fell a few points against the US dollar.

Bitcoin price failed to generate momentum for a break above the $20,650 barrier level. After the Fed raised interest rates by 0.75 percentage points, Bitcoin fell below $20,400.

The price fell below the $20,250 support level and moved toward the $20,000 mark. A bottom near $20,059 was formed, and the price gradually corrected losses. The price rose above the $20,250 mark.

Bitcoin is trading below the $20,500 mark and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair, a big negative trend line is forming with resistance near $20,520.

On the upside, an immediate resistance level is near $20,370. The first significant barrier is located near the $20,450 level.

A decisive break above the $20,500 level might increase the price.

The next significant resistance remains above $21,000, and the price may rise steadily. If bitcoin fails to break above the $20,500 resistance level, it may continue its downward trend. On the downside, there is immediate support near the $20,200 level.

The next big support level is around $20,050. The main support is now near $20,000, below which a significant collapse is possible. In this instance, the price may fall near the $19,200 mark.
