Bitcoin failed to clear the $30,600 resistance zone once again. BTC is falling but the bulls may remain active around $28,500, according to technical analysis by NewsBTC’s Aayush Jindal.
Bitcoin Drops Again
Bitcoin started another decline after forming a high around $30,630. There was a sharp reaction below the $30,000 support zone and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Bitcoin traded below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $28,700 high to $30,630 high. There was also a break below a major bullish trend line with support near $29,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
The price even settled below the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $28,700 high to $30,630 high. It is currently consolidating with resistance near the $29,500 level.
The next major resistance is near the $29,650 level and the 100 hourly SMA. The first key resistance is near the $30,000 level. A clear move above the $30,000 resistance level could lead the price towards the key $30,600 resistance zone.
Will Bitcoin Drop More?
Jindal says that if Bitcoin fails to break through the $29,650 resistance zone, it may continue to move down. An immediate support is near the $29,000 level. The first major support is near the $28,850 level. The main support is near the $28,500 level. A clear move below the $28,500 support zone could start a major decline. In the stated case, the price could drop to $27,800.
