Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis

Bitcoin price made a few attempts to gain strength above $37,750 and $38,800. However, BTC failed to extend gains and started a downside correction below $37,500.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price declined steadily below the $37,000 and $36,500 levels. It even spiked below the $36,000 level and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4 hours). However, the bulls were active near the $35,600 level.

BTC seems to be holding a major bullish trend line with support at $35,800 on the same chart. A low was formed near $35,608 and the price is still in a positive zone.

If there is a fresh increase, Bitcoin could face resistance near $37,600. The next resistance is near $38,000. A successful close above the $38,000 level might start a decent increase. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise toward the $40,000 level.

If not, the price might continue to move down. The bears could attempt a downside break below the trend line support and the $36,500. The next major support is near $35,000 or the 200 simple moving average (green, 4 hours). Any more losses might send the price toward the $34,000 level.

Looking at gold prices, it is now consolidating gains and might soon attempt a fresh move above the $2,000 level.
