Bitcoin Turns Green

This past week, bitcoin found support above the $10,100 level against the US Dollar. BTC remained well bid above the $10,200 level and recently started a steady recovery wave.

There was a break above the $10,350 and $10,400 levels. The main technical breakout was near the $10,550 resistance zone and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). Moreover, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $10,600 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair.

Bitcoin climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $11,192 high to $10,140 swing low. It has opened the doors for more gains above the $10,700 level.

The price is now struggling to clear a key resistance zone near $10,800. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $11,192 high to $10,140 swing low. A successful break and close above the $10,800 resistance could open the doors for more gains above the $11,000 resistance.

The next major resistance is near the $11,200 level, above which the bulls are likely to aim a larger increase towards the $11,500 level in the near term.

Dips Supported in BTC?

If bitcoin struggles to climb above the $10,800 resistance or the $11,000 barrier, it might correct lower. An initial support is near the $10,650 level.

The main support on the downside is near the $10,550 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). A close below the $10,550 and $10,500 support levels may perhaps clear the path for a sustained decline.
