Bitcoin Price Faces Hurdles

Bitcoin price started a fresh decline and traded below the $105,500 support zone. BTC even traded below the $105,500 level and tested the next support at $103,200.

A low was formed at $103,200 and the price is attempting a recovery wave. There was a move above the $104,500 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $110,500 swing high to the $103,200 low. The price even cleared the $105,000 resistance.

Bitcoin is now trading above $105,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $104,050 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $106,850 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $110,500 swing high to the $103,200 low.

The first key resistance is near the $107,000 level. The next key resistance could be $107,800. A close above the $107,800 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $109,000 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $110,000 level.

Another Drop In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $107,000 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $105,000 level. The first major support is near the $104,000 level and the trend line.

The next support is now near the $103,200 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $102,500 support in the near term. The main support sits at $101,200, below which BTC might gain bearish momentum.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bullish zone.
