Bitcoin Price Dips Below Support


Bitcoin price failed to settle above the $83,500 level and started a fresh decline. BTC traded below the $83,000 ad $82,000 levels to enter a bearish zone.

There was a break below a connecting bullish trend line with support at $83,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair even dived below the $80,000 support zone. A low was formed at $77,057 and the price started a recovery wave.


There was a move above the $78,800 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $83,680 swing high to the $77,057 low. However, the price is struggling to continue higher.


Bitcoin price is now trading below $81,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $80,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $80,500 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $83,680 swing high to the $77,057 low.

The next key resistance could be $81,500. A close above the $81,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $82,500 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $83,500 level.
