Bitcoin Price
The pair even declined below the $6,200 support and traded close to the $6,000 area. A new weekly low is formed near the $6,048 level and the price is currently consolidating losses. An initial resistance on the upside is near the $6,270 level since it is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $6,982 swing high to $6,048 low.
On the downside, there are a couple of important supports near $6,050 and $6,000. The main support for bitcoin is near the $5,950 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
If BTC fails to stay above the 100 SMA, there is a risk of a larger decline below $5,800. An immediate support is near $5,750, below which the price is likely to decline towards the $5,500 level.
Fresh Increase
The main support for bitcoin is forming near the $6,000 area and the 100 SMA. If the price stays above the 100 SMA, there are chances of a strong recovery wave above the $6,300 level.
The next resistance is near the $6,500 region (the recent breakdown support). The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $6,982 swing high to $6,048 low is also near $6,515.
Therefore, a successful break above the $6,500 resistance area could start a fresh increase towards the $6,800 and $7,000 resistance levels.
