Bitcoin Price Faces Bears
Bitcoin price attempted a steady increase above the $17,000 resistance zone. It even broke the $17,200 level and settled above the 100 hourly simple moving average.
However, the bears were active above the $17,200 level. A high was formed near $17,319 before the price started a downside correction. There was a move below the $17,000 support zone. The price declined below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $16,000 swing low to $17,319 high.

On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $17,000 level. The first major resistance is near the $17,250 zone, above which the price may perhaps start another steady increase. In the stated case, the price could rise towards the $17,800 resistance.

Dips Supported in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to start a fresh increase above the $17,000 resistance, there could be more downsides. An immediate support on the downside is near the $16,800 level. The next major support is near the $16,650 zone.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $16,000 swing low to $17,319 high is also near the $16,650 support. A downside break below the $16,650 support might call for a move towards $16,500. Any more losses might call for a test of the key $16,000 support zone in the near term.
