Bitcoin Price


On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $96,800 level. The first key resistance is near the $97,000 level. The next key resistance could be $98,000. A close above the $98,000 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $98,800 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $100,000 level or even $100,500.
