Bitcoin Price Holds $100K<\/h2>\n

Bitcoin price started a decent upward move<\/a> above the $100,000 zone. BTC was able to climb above the $102,500 and $103,800 levels.<\/p>\n

A high was formed at $106,246 and the price recently started a downside correction<\/a>. There was a drop below the $104,000 and $103,500 levels. Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $104,650 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair.<\/p>\n

A low was formed at $99,538 and the price is now rising. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $106,246 swing high to the $99,538 low.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin price is now trading below $103,800 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $102,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $103,000 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $106,246 swing high to the $99,538 low.<\/p>\n

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

A clear move above the $103,000 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance could be $104,650. A close above the $104,650 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $106,250 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $108,500 level.<\/p>\n
