The price is trading below $20,600 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Bitcoin Price Dips Further

Bitcoin price formed a swing high near the $21,469 level and recently started a downside correction. BTC declined below the $21,200 and $21,000 levels.

The bears were able to push the price below the key $20,600 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There was a clear move below the 50% Fib retracement level of the main increase from the $20,050 swing low to $21,470 high.

The decline gained pace below the $20,500 level. Bitcoin price even tested the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the main increase from the $20,050 swing low to $21,470 high.

The price is now trading below $20,600 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $20,600 level. The first major resistance is near the $21,000 level. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $21,050 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

A clear move above the trend line resistance and $21,200 might start a fresh increase towards $21,500. The next major resistance is near $22,000, above which the price could test the $22,500 zone.

More Losses in BTC?

If bitcoin fails to start a recovery wave above the $20,600 resistance zone, it could resume its decline. An immediate support on the downside is near the $20,380 level.

The next major support is near the $20,050 zone. A clear move below the $20,050 support might push the price into a bearish zone. In this case, the price may perhaps decline towards the $19,200 level.
