Bitcoin Price Dips Again

The bulls even pushed the price above the $107,000 level. However, the bears were active above the $107,000 zone. A high was formed at $107,080 and the price is now correcting gains. There was a move below the $105,000 level.

The first key resistance is near the $104,000 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $107,080 swing high to the $100,700 low. A clear move above the $104,000 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance could be $105,000.
