The price even dipped below the $104,200 support level. Finally, it tested the $103,000 zone. A low was formed at $103,078 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib level of the recent decline from the $110,273 swing high to the $103,078 low.
Bitcoin is now trading below $105,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $106,600 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $104,200 level. The first key resistance is near the $105,500 level. The next key resistance could be $106,600 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $110,273 swing high to the $103,078 low.
A close above the $106,600 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $108,000 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $110,000 level.
