Bitcoin Price Dips Sharply
Bitcoin price failed to stay above the $94,500 support and started a fresh decline. BTC declined sharply below the $94,000 and $93,500 support levels.
There was a move below the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $89,995 swing low to the $97,898 high. Besides, there was a break below a declining channel with support at $93,550 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
The price even spiked below $92,000. It tested the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $89,995 swing low to the $97,898 high. Bitcoin is now trading below $93,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.
If the price remains stable above $92,000, it could attempt a fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near the $93,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $93,500 level.
The next resistance could be $94,000. A close above the $94,000 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $95,000 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $95,500 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $96,200 and $96,400.
Downside Continuation In BTC?
If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $93,500 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $92,000 level. The first major support is near the $91,800 level.
The next support is now near the $91,300 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $90,500 support in the near term. The main support sits at $90,000, below which BTC might accelerate lower in the near term.
