Bitcoin Price Analysis

This past week, we saw a downside extension in bitcoin price below the $9,200 support against the US Dollar. As a result, BTC declined below the $9,000 support and settled well below the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The price traded as low as $8,400 and it is currently correcting higher. It climbed above the $8,600 level, plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $10,029 high to $8,400 low. The price also climbed above a major declining channel with resistance near the $8,650 level on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. It has opened the doors for more gains above the $8,800 level.

On the upside, there are a few key hurdles visible near the $8,970 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). A clear break above the $8,970 and $9,000 levels could clear the path for bitcoin bulls to take control in the near term. The next major resistance is near the $9,215 level. It is the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $10,029 high to $8,400 low. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $9,405 on the same chart. Therefore, a clear break above the $9,000 level may perhaps set the pace for a push towards the $9,400 resistance area. Conversely, the price might fail to continue above the $9,000 level or the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). In the mentioned case, it could dive back towards the $8,400 support area.
