Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance

Bitcoin price extended its losses and traded below the $65,000 level. BTC even tested the $64,000 zone. A low was formed at $64,050 and the price is now correcting losses.

There was a minor recovery above the $64,500 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $67,255 swing high to the $64,050 low. However, the bears are still active near the $65,500 zone.

Bitcoin is now trading below $65,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with resistance at $65,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $65,400 level and the triangle trend line. The first major resistance could be $65,650 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $67,255 swing high to the $64,050 low. The next key resistance could be $66,000.

A clear move above the $66,000 resistance might start a steady increase and send the price higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $66,550 resistance. Any more gains might send BTC toward the $67,500 resistance in the near term.
