The next key resistance could be $91,500. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $91,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. A close above the $91,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $93,000 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $94,200 level or even $95,000.

The next support is now near the $82,250 zone and the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $84,500 swing low to the $95,000 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $80,000 support in the near term. The main support sits at $78,800.
