Bitcoin Price Turns Red
Bitcoin price struggled to clear the $60,000 resistance zone and started a fresh decline. BTC declined below the $60,000 and $59,500 levels to start a downside correction.
There was a drop below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $55,550 swing low to the $60,638 high. The bears were able to push the price toward the $57,500 support zone. There is now a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $58,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
Bitcoin is now trading below $58,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. It is testing the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $55,550 swing low to the $60,638 high.
On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $58,000 level and the trend line. The first key resistance is near the $59,200 level and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. A clear move above the $59,200 resistance might start a steady increase in the coming sessions.
The next key resistance could be $60,000. A close above the $60,000 resistance might spark more upsides. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $60,650 resistance.
