Bitcoin price drops further
The failure of the Bitcoin price to break above $63,000 has led to a downward trend. BTC has fallen below the $62,500 and $61,500 support levels and even below $60,500.
The current low was formed at $60,300 and the price is consolidating its downtrend and is now slightly recovering above $60,550. However, the price remains well below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $64,420 high to $60,300 low.
Bitcoin price is currently trading below $61,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the upside, it is expected to face resistance near $61,200. There is a bearish trend line formed with resistance at $61,250 on the hourly chart of BTC/USD.
The first key resistance is near the $62,350 level, which is the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent decline from the $64,420 high to $60,300 low. If the price can clearly break above the $62,350 resistance level, it is likely to fuel further gains. The next key resistance will be $63,200.
A close above the $63,200 resistance could spark a bigger rally and the price could test the $64,000 resistance. Further gains could carry the price towards the $65,000 level.
