Bitcoin Price Analysis

Yesterday, we saw a nice recovery wave in bitcoin above the $7,200 resistance against the US Dollar. However, BTC price struggled to climb above the $7,375 and $7,400 resistance levels.

Later, there was a minor downside correction, but the price remains well bid above the $7,000 level. As a result, there was a fresh increase above the $7,200 resistance.

Moreover, the price surpassed yesterday’s bullish flag resistance at $7,100 on the hourly chart. It opened the doors for an upside break above the key $7,375 and $7,400 resistance levels.

Bitcoin price even rallied above the $7,500 resistance and traded close to the next key resistance near $7,700 (as pointed out in the weekly forecast). A high was formed near $7,676 and the price is currently correcting lower.

It broke the $7,600 level, but holding the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $6,857 low to $7,676 high. Additionally, there is a short term contracting triangle forming with resistance near $7,540 on the same chart.

Therefore, there are two possible scenarios – first, the price resumes its rise above the $7,600 and $7,700 resistance level. In the mentioned case, the bulls are likely to aim the $8,000 resistance.
