Bitcoin price started a strong increase above the $66,500 resistance zone. The price remained stable above the $68,000 level and traded in a positive zone.

The price even rallied above the $70,000 resistance zone. However, the price seems to be struggling near the $73,000 zone. A new all-time high was formed near $73,027 and the price is now consolidating gains. The price traded below $72,000 but it is still above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $59,224 swing low to the $73,027 high.

Bitcoin is now trading above $70,000 and the 55 simple moving average (4 hours). Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $72,800 level. The first major resistance is near the $73,000 level, above which the price could rise toward the $75,000 zone.

Any more gains might send the price toward the $80,000 zone. If there is no upside break, the price might start a downside correction below $71,000. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $69,800 on the 4-hour chart of the BTC/USD pair.

The next key support is near the $68,000 level. Any more losses might call for a move toward the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $59,224 swing low to the $73,027 high at $66,100.

Looking at the chart, Bitcoin price is trading above $70,000 and the 55 simple moving average (4 hours). Overall, the price could continue to rise if it stays above the $68,000 support zone.
