A new monthly high was formed near $7,447 and the price corrected lower. There was a break below the $7,200 support area. However, the bulls were able to protect the $7,000-$7,100 demand zone and the price remained stable above the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Bitcoin just reversed and it is now trading above the $7,200 level. There was a clear break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $7,447 high to $7,085 low.
It is testing the $7,350 area or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $7,447 high to $7,085 low. More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $7,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
If there is a clear break above the $7,400 level, the price is likely to surpass the $7,447 high. An immediate resistance is near the $7,500 level, above which the gates are likely to open for a push towards the $7,800 and $8,000 resistance levels.
