Bitcoin Price Analysis

This past week, there was a sharp rally in bitcoin above the $7,500 and $8,000 resistances against the US Dollar. BTC even surged above the $9,500 and $10,000 levels before correcting lower.

Later, the price corrected below the $9,500 support and the $9,000 pivot zone. However, the decline was contained below $9,000 and the price remained well above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

A low was formed near $8,896 and bitcoin started a fresh increase. It broke the $9,000 and $9,200 resistance levels. Moreover, there was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward correction from the $10,578 high to $8,896 low.

However, the price seems to be facing a strong resistance near $9,850 and $9,900. Besides, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward correction from the $10,578 high to $8,896 low prevented any further upsides.

At the moment, the price is declining and is moving towards the $9,500 support. More importantly, there is a crucial bullish trend line forming with support near $9,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

If there is a downside break below the trend line, the price could extend its downward correction towards the $9,200 level. Any further losses may perhaps push bitcoin price towards the $8,750 support area.

Conversely, if the price continues to climb higher, it could climb above the $9,850 and $9,900 resistance. The main hurdle is near the $10,000 level, above which the price is likely to climb towards $10,500.
