Bitcoin Price is Approaching Key Hurdle After forming a major swing low, bitcoin started a steady rise above the $6,500 and $7,500 resistance levels against the US Dollar. BTC price even settled above the $7,500 pivot zone to move into a bullish zone. During the rise, it surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the main drop from the $10,497 high to $3,930 swing low.

In the mentioned bearish case, the price could dive towards the $6,000 level. Technical indicators: Daily MACD – The MACD is currently gaining momentum in the bullish zone. Daily RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now well above the 55 level. Major Support Levels – $7,500 followed by $7,200. Major Resistance Levels – $8,000, $8,280 and $9,000.
