Bitcoin Price Eyes Fresh Increase

Bitcoin price remained strong above the $33,800 level. BTC formed a base and attempted another increase above the $34,500 resistance zone. It even spiked toward the main barrier at $35,000.

However, there was no upside continuation. The price formed a top near $34,953 and recently corrected lower. There was a move below the $34,600 level. The price declined below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $33,319 swing low to the $34,953 high.

On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $34,780 level. The next key resistance could be near $34,950 or the channel upper trend line. The main resistance is still near the $35,000 zone. A clear move above the $35,000 resistance might start a decent increase.

The next key resistance could be $35,500, above which the price could test $36,200. Any more gains might send BTC toward the $36,500 level in the near term.

Dips In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $34,750 resistance zone, it could start a downside correction. Immediate support on the downside is near the $34,250 level and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.

If there is a move below $33,950, there is a risk of more downsides. In the stated case, the price could decline toward the $33,400 level or even $33,200.
