Bitcoin Price Faces Hurdles


Bitcoin price failed to start a fresh increase and extended losses below the $70,500 zone. There was a move below the $70,000 and $69,200 support levels.


The price even declined below $68,000 and tested $66,800. A low was formed at $66,836 and the price is now attempting to recover. There was a move above the $67,500 resistance. The price tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $71,576 swing high to the $66,836 low.


Bitcoin price is now trading below $70,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $68,200 level. There is also a new connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $68,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.


The first key resistance is near the $69,200 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $71,576 swing high to the $66,836 low. A clear move above the $69,200 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance could be $70,000.
