Bitcoin Price Technical Analysis

Bitcoin price failed to clear the $72,000 resistance zone and started a fresh decline. BTC/USD traded below many supports such as $70,000 and $69,200.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, the price traded below a key bullish trend line with support near $68,250. The price settled well below the 100 simple moving average (red, 4 hours) and tested the 200 simple moving average (green, 4 hours).

However, the bulls are now active near the $66,500 support zone. If there is another increase, the price could face resistance near the $67,800 level.

The first key resistance is near the $68,400 zone. The next resistance is near $69,200 and the 100 simple moving average (red, 4 hours). A successful close above $69,200 might start another steady increase. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise toward the $70,000 level.

Conversely, Bitcoin might extend losses. Immediate support is near the $66,500 level. The main support sits at $66,000. Any more losses might send the price toward the $62,500 support zone.

Immediate resistance is near the $72,000 level.
