Bitcoin price is falling again
Bitcoin price failed to break the resistance level of $113,000 and started a new decline. BTC broke below the $112,000 and $110,500 support levels and entered the bearish zone.
The price even dropped below $108,000. A low was formed at $107,483 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from $115,975 to the $107,483 low.
Bitcoin is now trading below $110,000 and the 100-hour simple moving average. Additionally, a bearish trend line is forming with resistance at $110,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Current resistance to the upside is near the $109,500 level.
The first key resistance is near the $110,000 level. The next resistance could be $110,500 and the trend line. A close above the $110,500 resistance could further push the price higher. In the said case, the price could rise and test the $111,800 resistance as it is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from $115,975 to the $107,483 low. Any further gains could send the price towards the $112,500 level. The next hurdle for the bulls could be $113,000.
