Bitcoin price is currently consolidating above the $60,000 support level. BTC is showing signs of potential upward movement above the $61,200 and $61,500 levels.
Bitcoin Price Consolidates Above Key Support
Bitcoin’s price recently dipped below the $61,200 support, breaking through $60,500 and $60,200 levels to enter a short-term bearish phase. The price even briefly fell below $60,000 before finding support near $59,850. Currently, Bitcoin is consolidating losses and has shown a small increase above the $60,450 level.
The price managed to surpass the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the downturn from the $62,350 swing high to the $59,850 low. Additionally, a key bearish trend line was broken with resistance at $60,850 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now trading below $61,750 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
Looking ahead, the immediate resistance for Bitcoin lies near the $61,400 level, followed by the crucial $61,750 level or the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level. A clear break above $61,750 could pave the way for further gains, with the next level to watch being $62,350.
If Bitcoin manages to close above the $62,350 resistance level, it could trigger further upward momentum, potentially testing the $62,850 resistance level and even aiming for $63,200.
Potential Downside Risks for Bitcoin
On the downside, if Bitcoin fails to break above the $61,750 resistance zone, it could initiate another downward move. Immediate support is expected near the $60,450 level, followed by the key $60,000 support. Further losses might push the price towards the $59,850 zone or even as low as $58,800 in the short term.
Key technical indicators suggest a mixed outlook for Bitcoin. The hourly MACD shows a slowdown in bearish momentum, while the hourly RSI is currently below the 50 level. Major support levels to watch for are $60,450 and $60,000, whereas major resistance levels include $61,400 and $61,750.
Conclusion
Bitcoin’s price movement indicates a consolidation phase above key support levels, with potential for a bullish breakout above $61,750. Traders should monitor the resistance levels closely for any signs of further upward momentum. However, downside risks remain, and a failure to break above key resistance could lead to another round of selling pressure.
