Bitcoin Price Analysis
Recently, bitcoin price retested the last swing low near $7,440 against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair remained stable above $7,440 and the bulls defended more losses. A new swing low was formed and the price recently moved higher. There was a break above the $7,500 and $7,600 levels to start an upside correction. The price also climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $8,578 high to $7,441 low.
At the moment, the price is trading above the $7,700 level and testing a major hurdle near $7,800. There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $7,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Above $7,800, there is another major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $7,950 on the same chart. The 100 hourly simple moving average is also near the trend line and $7,960 to act as a hurdle. The main resistance is near the $8,000 level. The 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $8,578 high to $7,441 low is also near the $8,000 level.
Therefore, a successful break above both trend lines and $8,000 could start a strong upward move. The next key resistance is near the $8,144 level. It represents the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $8,578 high to $7,441 low. On the downside, the price seems to be forming a double bottom pattern near the $7,440 level.
