Bitcoin Price Holds Gains

Bitcoin price remained stable above the $58,500 pivot level. BTC formed a base and started a steady increase above the $60,000 resistance zone. The price climbed above the $60,200 and $60,500 resistance levels.

The bulls were able to push the price above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $61,800 swing high to the $59,805 low. The current price action is positive and seems like the bulls could aim for more gains above the $60,800 resistance zone.

Bitcoin is now trading above $60,200 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. The price is now consolidating near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $61,800 swing high to the $59,805 low.

On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $60,800 level. The first key resistance is near the $61,800 level. A clear move above the $61,800 resistance might send the price further higher in the coming sessions. The next key resistance could be $62,000.

A close above the $62,000 resistance might spark more upsides. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $63,500 resistance.

Another Decline In BTC?

The first major support is $59,800. The next support is now near the $58,500 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $58,000 support zone or even $57,500 in the near term.
