Bitcoin Price Faces Resistance

Bitcoin price extended losses below the $60,000 support zone. BTC even tested the $58,500 support zone, where the bulls emerged. A low was formed at $58,448 and the price is now correcting losses. There was a decent increase above the $60,000 level.

The price climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $64,460 swing high to the $58,448 low. It even moved above the $62,000 pivot level. However, Bitcoin price is still trading below $63,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.

The price seems to be facing a rejection zone near the $62,500 resistance, as discussed yesterday. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $62,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $64,460 swing high to the $58,448 low.

The next key resistance could be $63,000. A clear move above the $63,000 resistance might start a steady increase and send the price higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $63,500 resistance. Any more gains might send BTC toward the $65,000 resistance in the near term.

Another Decline In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to climb above the $62,500 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $60,500 level.

The first major support is $60,000. The next support is now forming near $59,500. Any more losses might send the price toward the $58,500 support zone in the near term.
