Bitcoin Price Dips Further

Bitcoin price started a fresh decline below the $105,500 zone. BTC gained pace and dipped below the $104,200 and $103,000 levels.

There was a clear move below the $102,000 support level. Finally, the price tested the $98,250 zone. A low was formed at $98,277 and the price started a consolidation phase. There was a minor recovery above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $106,470 swing high to the $98,277 low.

However, the bears were active below the $101,200 zone. Bitcoin is now trading below $102,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $101,250 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

Bitcoin Price

A close above the $103,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $105,000 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $106,200 level.

Another Drop In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $102,000 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $100,150 level. The first major support is near the $98,500 level.

The next support is now near the $96,500 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $95,500 support in the near term. The main support sits at $95,000, below which BTC might struggle to find bids.

Technical indicators:

  • Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bearish zone.

  • Major Support Levels – $100,150, followed by $100,000.
