Bitcoin Price Analysis
There was a sharp downside reaction below the $6,600 pivot level in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair declined further below the $6,450 and $6,400 levels to move into a bearish zone. The recent low was formed at $6,318 before the price started consolidating losses. It tested the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $6,660 high to $6,318 low.
However, gains were limited by the $6,450 level. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $6,660 high to $6,318 low is also near the $6,489 level to act as a resistance. More importantly, there are two bearish trend lines in place with resistance at $6,520 and $6,580 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Therefore, if the price continues to move higher, it is likely to face sellers near the $6,450 and $6,480 levels. Above the trend lines and the $6,500 barrier, the price could test the $6,620 pivot level. On the downside, the $6,400 level is an initial support.
Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is slowly recovering from the $6,318 low. However, upsides are likely to face a lot of sellers near the $6,450 and $6,480 levels in the near term.
