Bitcoin Price Rises Over 10%

Bitcoin's price has experienced a significant increase, surpassing the resistance level of $38,500. Over the past few sessions, BTC has gained more than 10% and successfully overcome several obstacles around $40,000.


Furthermore, it has even surpassed the resistance at $41,200 and surged above the $42,000 range, reaching a new high for the past few months at around $42,415. Currently, the price is undergoing a correction after dropping below the $42,000 level. It is currently testing the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, which is based on the upward movement from the swing low of $39,360 to the high of $42,415.


Bitcoin is also trading above $41,200 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average (SMA). Additionally, there is a significant bullish trend line forming with support near $40,880 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. This trend line aligns closely with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, which is based on the upward movement from the swing low of $39,360 to the high of $42,415.


Looking ahead, the immediate resistance lies near the $42,200 level. The first major resistance is expected to form near $42,500, above which the price may rise towards the $43,200 level.

A potential breakout above the $43,200 resistance level may lead to further upward momentum in the price. The subsequent significant resistance level to watch out for is around $44,000, surpassing which Bitcoin (BTC) could potentially climb towards the $45,000 mark.


Are Dips Limited In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $42,200 resistance zone, it could start a downside correction. Immediate support on the downside is near the $41,200 level.
