Bitcoin price is consolidating above the $95,500 support zone. BTC is showing a few positive signs and might attempt a recovery if it clears $100,000.


  • Bitcoin started a fresh decline below the $100,000 level.

  • The price is trading below $99,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.

  • There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $98,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).

  • The pair could start another increase if it clears the $100,000 zone.


Bitcoin Price Holds Support


Bitcoin price failed to continue higher above the $102,500 zone. It started another decline below the $99,000 zone. BTC gained bearish momentum for a move below the $98,500 and $96,500 levels.


A low was formed at $95,700 and the price recently started a consolidation phase. There was a minor increase above the $97,000 level. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $102,500 swing high to the $95,700 low.


Bitcoin price is now trading below $98,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $98,000 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $98,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.


The first key resistance is near the $99,100 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $102,500 swing high to the $95,700 low. The next key resistance could be $100,000. A close above the $100,000 resistance might send the price further higher.

In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $101,200 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $102,500 level.
