Bitcoin Faces Main Resistance

You can follow us on our Twitter and Telegram channel to be informed about the last minute developments.

Bitcoin bulls made several attempts to clear the $40,000 resistance zone but failed. The last local top was formed near $39,888 before a downside correction was made. There was a move below the $39,000 and $38,800 support levels. Besides, there was a break below a short term contracting triangle formation with support near $38,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

The pair is currently trading below $39,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A bottom was formed near $37,028 and the price is consolidating losses.

Initial resistance is near the $38,200 level and the 100 hourly SMA. The next key resistance is near the $38,500 level. This is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $39,888 high to $37,028 high. The main resistance is currently near the $38,800 level. This is near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $39,888 high to $37,028 high. A clear move above the $38,800 resistance could push the price higher. In the indicated case, a clear move above $40,000 could be attempted.

Are Drops Limited?

Jindal says that if Bitcoin fails to break past the $38,800 resistance zone, it could initiate a downside correction. An immediate support on the downside is near the $37,200 area. The next major support is seen near the $36,400 level. If there is a downside break below the $36,400 support, the price could gain bearish momentum towards $35,000.

What Do Technical Indicators Say?

  • Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing momentum in the bearish zone.
  • Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is currently below the 50 level.
  • Major Support Levels – 37,200 then $36,400
  • Major Resistance Levels – 38,200, 38,800 and 40,000
