Immediate resistance is near the $26,400 level. The next major resistance is near $26,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. A clear move above the 100 hourly Simple moving average could start a recovery wave toward the $27,000 resistance.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $29,180 swing high to the $24,800 low is near $27,000 to act as a resistance. A close above the $27,000 resistance could start a decent increase toward the $27,500 resistance zone. Any more gains might set the pace for a larger increase toward $28,150.
Another Decline In BTC?
If Bitcoin fails to clear the $26,500 resistance, it could continue to move down. Immediate support on the downside is near the $26,000 zone and the trend line.
The next major support is near the $25,600 level. A downside break below the $25,600 level might push the price further into a bearish zone. In the stated case, the price could drop toward $25,000.
