Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis
Bitcoin price started a steady increase after it cleared the $60,000 hurdle. BTC/USD broke a few important resistances near the $63,000 level to enter a positive zone.
Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price settled well above the $64,000 zone, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4 hours), and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4 hours). The bulls even pushed the price toward the $66,000 resistance zone.
The price is now consolidating gains and facing heavy resistance near the $66,000 zone. A successful close above $66,000 might start another steady increase. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise toward the $67,500 level.
Conversely, Bitcoin might start a downside correction. Immediate support is near the $62,400 level and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4 hours). The next key support sits at $61,500. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $61,550 on the 4-hour chart.
A downside break below the trend line might send Bitcoin toward the 100 simple moving average (red, 4 hours) at $59,000. Any more losses might send the price toward the $58,000 support zone.
Looking at Gold, the bulls seem to be in action and they might soon aim for more gains above the $2,480 resistance level.
