Bitcoin Price Eyes Recovery
Bitcoin price failed to cross the resistance level of $110,000 and started a new decline. BTC broke below the $108,000 and $106,500 support levels and entered the bearish zone.
The price even dropped below $105,000. A low was formed at $103,583 and the price is recovering some losses. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from $115,975 to the $103,583 low.
In addition, there was a break above the bearish trend line with resistance at $107,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now trading above $108,000 and the 100-hour simple moving average.
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 $111,250 and the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from $115,975 to the $103,583 low.
A close above the $111,250 resistance could further push the price higher. In the said case, the price could rise and test the $112,500 resistance. Any further gains could send the price towards the $113,200 level. The next hurdle for the bulls could be $115,000.
