Bitcoin Price is Approaching Major Hurdle In the past few days, bitcoin mostly traded in a broad range above the $6,400 and $6,500 support levels against the US Dollar. BTC price seems to be well bid above the $6,500 level, but it is facing a lot of hurdles on the upside. The first key resistance is near the $7,240 level. It represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the crucial drop from the $10,561 high to $3,920 swing low. The bulls already made an attempt to clear the $7,240 resistance, but they failed. More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $7,580 on the daily chart of the BTC/USD pair. Above the trend line, the next key resistance area is visible near the $8,000 level and the 100-day simple moving average. Bitcoin Price The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the crucial drop from the $10,561 high to $3,920 swing low is also near the $8,000 resistance area. Therefore, bitcoin seems to be facing two major hurdles near $7,500 and $8,000. To move into a strong uptrend, the bulls need to gain strength above $7,500, with a follow up move above the $8,000 barrier. If they succeed, the price could surge towards the $9,500 and $10,000 levels in the coming days. Fresh Decline? If bitcoin price fails to continue above the $7,500 resistance or the $8,000 barrier, it could start a fresh decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $6,400 level. If the price fails to stay above the $6,400 support, it may perhaps retest the $6,000 support. Any further losses could start another significant decline towards the $5,000 support area in the near term.
