Bitcoin Price Holds Support

Bitcoin price started a downside correction after it failed to stay above $62,500. BTC declined below the $61,500 and $60,000 levels to move into a short-term bearish zone.

There was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $61,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair even dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $54,556 swing low to the $62,700 high.

Bitcoin price is now trading below $60,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. The bulls are protecting the $58,500 support zone. The price is stable above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $54,556 swing low to the $62,700 high.

On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $59,500 level. The first key resistance is near the $60,000 level. A clear move above the $60,000 resistance might send the price further higher in the coming sessions. The next key resistance could be $61,200.

The next major hurdle sits at $62,500. A close above the $62,500 resistance might spark bullish moves. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $65,000 resistance.

More Downsides In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $60,000 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Immediate support on the downside is near the $58,500 level.

The first major support is $57,650. The next support is now near the $57,250 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $55,500 support zone or even $55,000 in the near term.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now below the 50 level.
