Bitcoin Price is Facing Huge Barrier
After a massive decline, bitcoin found support near the $4,000 level. BTC price started a decent recovery above the $4,500 and $5,000 resistance levels. Later, it started consolidating in a range above the $5,000 support.
Recently, it gained pace above the $5,500 and $5,800 resistance levels. The price even surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last key decline from the $9,203 high to $3,919 low.
It is now trading nicely above the $6,000 resistance level. However, there are a few key barriers near the $6,400 and $6,500 levels (the previous breakdown zone). The 50% Fib retracement level of the last key decline from the $9,203 high to $3,919 low is also near the $6,550 level.
