Bitcoin Price Holds Key Support

Bitcoin price started another increase above the $95,500 resistance zone. BTC was able to clear the $96,500 and $98,000 resistance levels.

The bulls were able to push the price above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $104,015 swing high to the $91,800 low. However, the bears seem to be active above the $101,000 level. They protected a close above the $102,000 level.

The price struggled to settle above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $104,015 swing high to the $91,800 low.

Bitcoin price is now trading below $100,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $99,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $100,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $101,250 level. A clear move above the $101,250 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance could be $102,000.

A close above the $102,000 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $104,200 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $108,000 level.

Another Drop In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $101,250 resistance zone, it could start another downside correction. Immediate support on the downside is near the $99,000 level and the trend line.

The first major support is near the $97,800 level. The next support is now near the $96,000 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $95,000 support in the near term.
