Bitcoin Price Eyes Fresh Gains

Bitcoin price remained supported above the $60,000 zone. BTC formed a base and settled above $61,200 to start a recovery wave. There was a move above the $62,000 and $62,200 levels.

Besides, there was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $61,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The bulls were able to push the price above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $74,100 swing high to the $59,107 low.

However, the bears are active near $64,000. Bitcoin is now trading above $62,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If the price remains stable above $62,000, it could attempt a fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near the $64,500 level.

The first key resistance is near the $65,000 level. A close above the $65,000 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $66,500 resistance or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $74,100 swing high to the $59,107 low. Any more gains might send the price toward the $68,500 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $70,000.

Another Decline In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $64,500 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $62,800 level.
