Bitcoin Price Remains At Risk

The bulls were able to push the price above $112,500 and $113,000. However, the bears remained active near the $113,200 zone and prevented more gains. There was a fresh bearish reaction, and the price traded below $112,000. A low was formed at $110,820 and the price is now consolidating losses.

Bitcoin is now trading below $111,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. Besides, there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $111,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $111,700 level. The first key resistance is near the $112,000 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $113,200 swing high to the $110,820 low.

The next resistance could be $112,300 or the 61.8% Fib level of the recent decline from the $113,200 swing high to the $110,820 low. A close above the $112,300 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $113,200 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $114,200 level. The main target could be $115,000.
