Bitcoin Price Regains Traction<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin price found support near $78,000 and started a fresh increase<\/a>. BTC gained pace for a move above the $78,500 and $78,800 resistance levels.<\/p>\n

The bulls even pushed the price above $80,000. A high was formed at $80,336, and the price started a consolidation phase above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $74,940 swing low to the $80,336 high.<\/p>\n

The bulls are now active above $78,500. Bitcoin is now trading above $79,200 and the 100 hourly simple moving average<\/a>. There is also a bullish trend line forming with support at $79,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair.<\/p>\n

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

If the price remains stable above $79,200, it could attempt a fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near the $80,250 level. The first key resistance is near the $80,500 level. A close above the $80,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $81,200 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $82,000 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $82,500.<\/p>\n

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

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $80,500 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $79,000 level. The first major support is near the $78,250 level.<\/p>\n

The next support is now near the $77,650 zone and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $74,940 swing low to the $80,336 high. Any more losses might send the price toward the $77,000 support in the near term. The main support now sits at $76,000, below which BTC might struggle to recover in the near term.<\/p>\n
