Bitcoin price is showing a few positive signs above $7,000 against the US Dollar. However, the bear run might not end until BTC climbs back above $7,700.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

Earlier this month, we discussed the chances of bitcoin hitting $7,400 and $6,500 against the US Dollar. BTC did decline heavily and recently tested the main $6,500 support area.

A new multi-month low was formed near $6,535 before the price started an upside correction. There was a strong recovery after the price surpassed the $6,750 resistance area. Besides, the price rallied more than 10% to climb above the $7,000 resistance.

More importantly, yesterday’s key bearish trend line was breached with resistance near $7,060 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair even spiked above the 100 hourly simple moving average and tested the $7,350 resistance area.

A high was formed near $7,372 and bitcoin price is currently trimming gains. It traded below the $7,200 level. Additionally, there was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $6,535 low to $7,372 high.

At the moment, the price is consolidating near the $7,200 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the upside, the first key resistance is near the $7,350 and $7,375 levels.

Should bitcoin price climbs above $7,375, the next downtrend resistance is near the $7,700 level. A successful close above the $7,700 level might push the price back into a positive zone.

Conversely, the price could struggle to continue above $7,375. In the mentioned case, the price is likely to retest the $7,000 support area. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $6,535 low to $7,372 high is also near the $6,950 level to provide support.

Bitcoin Price

Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is showing a few bullish signs above $7,200, but the bulls need to gain momentum above the $7,350 and $7,375 resistance levels. On the other hand, a close below $6,950 might restart the downtrend.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is about to move back into the bearish zone.

Major Support Levels – $7,000 followed by $6,950.
