Bitcoin Price Stays In A Range<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin price managed to remain stable above the $66,000 zone. BTC started a recovery wave and was able to climb above the $68,800 resistance zone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The price surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the main slide from the $78,988 swing high to the $60,500 low. However, the bears seem to be active near the $72,000 and $72,500 levels. Besides, there is a rising channel forming with support at $68,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin is now trading above $70,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average<\/a>. If the price remains stable above $68,800, it could attempt a fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near the $72,000 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the main slide from the $78,988 swing high to the $60,500 low.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The first key resistance is near the $72,500 level. A close above the $72,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $74,650 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $75,880 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $76,500 and $77,200.<\/p>\n

Another Decline In BTC?<\/h2>\n

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $72,500 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $69,400 level. The first major support is near the $68,500 level.<\/p>\n

The next support is now near the $67,600 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $66,500 support in the near term. The main support now sits at $65,000, below which BTC might struggle to recover in the near term.<\/p>\n
