Bitcoin Price Analysis

Yesterday, we discussed that bitcoin price could correct lower from $7,300 against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair did correct lower and moved towards the $7,200 support. However, sellers failed to push the price further lower towards the $7,130 support area. A swing low was formed at $7,186 later the price traded above the $7,300 level. The price made a few attempts to clear the $7,325 level recently, but buyers failed to gain traction.

There was a downside reaction and the price moved below the $7,250 level. There was also a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $7,186 low to $7,324 high. However, declines were once again protected by the $7,200 support area. Moreover, the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $7,186 low to $7,324 high acted as a support. At the outset, there is a short-term bullish trend line in place with support at $7,240 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair is holding the trend line and it seems like it could make another attempt to clear $7,325.
