Bitcoin Price Support Zone

In the last weekly analysis, I mentioned that there is a real chance of Bitcoin price retesting $2684 against the US Dollar. The price did gain pace, and traded higher for a move towards $2700. It also managed to trade to a new all-time high at $2285. The price is currently correcting lower, but remains well supported above $2700. It recently moved below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $2566 low to $2885 high.

However, the downside move was prevented below $2700. There is a key bullish trend line with support at $2750 forming on the 4-hours chart of BTC/USD. It is preventing downsides and holding losses below $2750. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $2566 low to $2885 high is also holding losses very well. Below $2750, there is another bullish trend line just above $2700.

Overall, there are many supports on the downside, starting with $2780 up to $2700. As long as the price stays above these supports, there can be a break above $2880. However, the stated level is acting as a strong resistance, but may not be able to prevent gains towards $3000.

Looking at the technical indicators:

4-hours MACD – The MACD is reducing the bullish zone, but showing positive signs.

4-hours RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI is currently moving lower, but remains well above the 50 level.

Major Support Level – $2700

Major Resistance Level – $2880
