Bitcoin Price Breaks $29,000
There was a steady increase in bitcoin price above the main $28,300 resistance zone. BTC broke the $28,500 and $29,000 levels to continue higher. It even spiked above USD 29,200 and traded to a new all-time high at $29,274.
Recently, there was a sharp downside correction below the $29,000 level, but it is still well above the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price also spiked below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $27,375 swing low to $29,274 high.

Bitcoin price tested the $28,325 support zone. It also remained well bid above the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $27,375 swing low to $29,274 high. Moreover, there is a major breakout pattern forming with support near $28,650 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
On the upside, the price is facing hurdles near $29,200. A clear break above the $29,200 and the recent high could open the doors for more upsides above $29,500. The main aim for the bulls could be $30,000 in the near term.
Dips Supported in BTC?
If bitcoin starts another downside correction, it is likely to find support near the $28,650 zone and the triangle lower trend line.
The next major support is near the $28,300 zone (a multi-touch zone) and a key level. If there are more downsides below $28,300, there is a risk of a larger decline. In the stated case, the price could test $27,500 or even the 100 hourly SMA.
