Bitcoin price struggled to maintain its position above the $77,500 resistance zone. BTC reached a peak around $78,350 before initiating a new downward trend. A dip occurred beneath the $76,500 threshold. The price fell beneath the $75,500 and $75,000 thresholds. The price reached a low of $73,637 and is currently consolidating losses beneath the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level from the decline that started at the $78,343 swing high down to the $73,637 low.
Bitcoin is currently trading under $76,000 and has fallen below the 100 hourly simple moving average. If the price holds steady above $73,500, it may seek to initiate a new upward movement. Immediate resistance is positioned around the $74,750 mark. The initial significant resistance stands around the $75,500 mark. A bearish trend line is also taking shape, presenting resistance at $75,600 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. A close above the $75,500 resistance could propel the price even higher.
In the given scenario, the price has the potential to increase and challenge the $76,000 resistance level, as well as the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the decline that occurred between the $78,343 swing high and the $73,637 low. Further gains could propel the price to the $77,200 mark. The upcoming resistance level for the bulls may be $78,000. If Bitcoin is unable to break through the $75,500 resistance zone, we may witness the beginning of another downturn. Immediate support is positioned around the $74,000 mark.
The initial significant support level is around $73,500. The upcoming support level is currently positioned around the $72,500 mark. Further losses could push the price down to the $71,200 support level in the short term. The primary support level currently stands at $70,000, and if BTC falls below this threshold, it may face challenges in making a recovery in the short term.
