READING NOW Bitcoin (BTC) Price Analysis: Signals Upward Continuation, What are the Key Levels?

Bitcoin price is showing positive signals above the $40,000 level against the US Dollar. BTC is likely to continue above $41,000 and $41,500 in the near term. According to technical analysis by NewsBTC’s Aayush Jindal:

  • Bitcoin started a fresh increase above the $38,500 and $40,000 resistance levels.
  • The price is currently well above $38,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $40.600 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data from Kraken).
  • The pair looks set to start a strong increase after clearing $40,600 and $41,000.

Bitcoin (BTC) Price Turns Green

Bitcoin formed a bottom above the $38,000 pivot level and expanded its upward move. BTC broke the $40,000 resistance zone and settled well above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

It hit as high as $41,128 before it started consolidating gains. It is currently trading well above $38,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. An immediate support on the downside is near $39.650. This is 23% of the upward move from $34,915 to $41,128. Close to 6 Fib retracement level.

There is also a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $40,600 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. If there is an upside break above the formation resistance, there are chances of a steady rise above the $41,000 resistance.

The first major resistance is near the $41,800 and $42,000 levels, above which the price is likely to gain bullish momentum. The next resistance is near the $45,000 level.

Will Bitcoin (BTC) Drop?

If bitcoin fails to break the $41,000 resistance, it could start a downside correction. An initial support on the downside is near the $40,000 level. The first major support is near the $39,600 level and the lower trend line of the formation.

The main support is currently forming near the $38,000 level. This is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $34.915 low to $41.128 high. A downside break below the $38,000 support zone may require testing the important 100 hourly SMA.
