Finally, the price climbed above the $7,500 area and tested the $7,600 resistance area. A high is formed near $7,585 and the price is currently correcting lower.

It broke the $7,550 level, plus the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $7,400 low to $7,585 high. Besides, the price spiked below the $7,500 support area.

However, bitcoin buyers were able to protect any further losses below $7,480. Additionally, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $7,400 low to $7,585 high also acted as a decent support.
