Bitcoin has been experiencing a challenging time in the market, as its price is struggling to recover above the $67,000 zone. After an initial drop towards the $64,500 level, Bitcoin (BTC) entered into a consolidation phase and traded as low as $64,572.
The cryptocurrency recently attempted a minor recovery wave by moving above the $66,000 level. In this process, it successfully climbed over the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from its swing high of $71,305 to its low of $64,570. This was considered to be a significant move, but unfortunately for BTC holders and investors alike, bears were active near the resistance zone around $66,600.
Due to these bearish activities, Bitcoin now trades below both the significant figure of 67k and also beneath its 100-hourly simple moving average (SMA). The current trading landscape shows that there's also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance close to about $66,400 on the BTC/USD pair’s hourly chart.
We are currently facing immediate resistance at almost similar levels ($66.400), while the first major barrier could be experienced around or near about where earlier active bears were sighted, i.e., at approximately $66.600.
If there happens to be any clear upward movement beyond this mentioned resistance zone, then we may witness a fresh increase in prices that can possibly reach up to the half-way point fib retracement level traced from swing high ($71K+) down to swing low ($64K+), making it potentially rise up to around the nearly $68k mark, specifically speaking somewhere between the range of sixty-seven thousand nine hundred and fifty dollars ($67'950).
However, if somehow bitcoin fails to overcome the aforementioned barriers, then there are chances that it may continue sliding downwards further, wherein immediate support could lie somewhere approximating sixty-five thousand two hundred dollars ($65'200).
On the other hand, if we look out for major supports, the first one to note could be at sixty-four thousand six hundred dollars ($64'600), while the next immediate support is expected somewhere near the 64k mark. If this level also gets breached by any means, then we may see a drop towards $62,500.
In such a scenario where there's more losses incurred than gains made, it might send BTC prices tumbling down further, with the potential of reaching as low as nearly sixty-thousand five hundred dollars ($60'500) in the near future.
Technical indicators suggest that MACD (moving average convergence divergence) is currently gaining pace but is unfortunately in a bearish zone. While the RSI (Relative Strength Index) for the BTC/USD pair seems to have gone below 50, indicating overpowering sellers in the market.
