Bitcoin Price Analysis

In the last analysis, we discussed that bitcoin price could be approaching towards a bullish break above the $6,395 resistance against the US Dollar. BTC/USD did gain momentum in the past two days and traded above the $6,395 and $6,460 resistance levels.

The 2-hours chart indicates that the price started a solid rise and traded above the $6,500 resistance and the 100 simple moving average (2-hours). The price traded as high as $6,525 and later it started a downside correction below $6,490.

Sellers pushed the price below the $6,460 support and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $6,245 low to $6,525 high.  However, there are a few key trend support levels positioned near the $6,395 level.

First, the 100 simple moving average (2-hours) is positioned at $6,402. Second, the previous bearish trend line could act as a support near $6,395. Finally, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $6,245 low to $6,525 high is at $6,385.

Therefore, if the price accelerates the current correction wave, buyers are likely to appear around the $6,395 or $6,385 level. Below the $6,385 level, the next support is around the $6,345 level.

On the upside, an initial resistance is $6,460, above which the price may perhaps climb above the $6,500 resistance. Finally, if there is a break above the $6,525 high, buyers could push the price towards $6,600.

Overall, bitcoin price is back in a positive zone and it could resume its upside move above $6,500 as long as buyers protect the $6,385 support plus the 100 SMA.
