Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis

Bitcoin price remained well bid above the $25,000 support zone. BTC/USD seems to be forming another bullish trend above the $26,000 pivot zone.

Looking at the 4-hours chart, the price started a fresh increase and was able to clear the $27,500 resistance zone. It broke a key declining channel with resistance near $28,150 to move further into a positive zone.

The price is now trading well above the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours) and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hours).

It is consolidating near the $28,500 resistance zone. The first major resistance is near the $28,800 level. A successful close above the $28,800 level might spark another bullish wave. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise towards the $30,000 level.

Any more gains could set the pace for a larger increase to $32,000. On the downside, an initial support sits near the $27,500 level.

The main breakdown support sits near the $27,200 zone and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hours). If there is a downside break and close below $27,000, bitcoin might start another decline in the coming days.

In the stated case, it could revisit the $25,000 support or the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hours). Any more losses might send the price towards $23,500.
