  • The price is trading below $90,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.

Bitcoin Price Dips Sharply

Bitcoin price failed to stay above the $95,500 level and started a fresh decline. BTC declined heavily below the $93,200 and $92,200 support levels.

The price even dived below the $90,000 level. It tested the $86,000 zone. A low was formed at $86,000 and the price is now consolidating losses. It is back above the $88,500 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $96,482 swing high to the $86,000 low.


Bitcoin price is now trading below $91,200 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $89,000 level. There is also a short-term triangle forming with resistance at $89,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.


The first key resistance is near the $90,000 level. The next key resistance could be $91,250 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $96,482 swing high to the $86,000 low.

A close above the $91,250 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $93,500 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $95,000 level or even $96,400.
