Any further gains could lead the price towards the $34,000 resistance zone. To move into a positive zone and start a steady increase, the bulls need to gain strength above $34,000 and $34,500 in the near term. The next major resistance is near the $35,800 level, where the bulls might take a stand.
Fresh Decline in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to recover above $33,500 and $34,000, there is a risk of another decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $32,000 level.
The first major support is near the $31,250 and $31,200 levels. A downside break below $31,200 and a follow up move below $31,000 may possibly start a strong decline towards $28,500 in the coming sessions. It seems like the price might consolidate in a range below the $34,000 resistance level before it makes the next major move.
