Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis
Bitcoin price started a fresh increase above the $62,500 resistance zone. BTC/USD climbed the $64,000 and $65,000 levels to move into a positive zone.
Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price surpassed a major bearish trend line with resistance at $63,200. It settled above the $65,000 level, the 200 simple moving average (green, 4 hours), and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4 hours).
The increase was such that the price soared above the $67,500 level. It even spiked above $68,000 before the bears appeared. The price is now consolidating gains. Immediate support is near the $66,800 level.
The next key support sits at $66,400. A downside break below $66,400 might send Bitcoin toward the $64,500 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $63,500 support zone.
On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $68,500 level. The next key resistance is at $69,200. A successful close above $69,200 might start another steady increase. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise toward the $71,500 level or even a new all-time high.
Looking at EUR/USD, the pair saw a lot of bearish moves and recently started a consolidation phase above the 1.0850 support.
