Bitcoin Price Eyes Upside Break

Bitcoin price corrected lower from the $17,292 swing high. BTC declined below the $17,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

However, the bulls were active near the $16,920 and $16,900 levels. A low was formed near $16,880 and the price started a fresh increase. There was a clear move above the $17,000 resistance zone and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

Bitcoin price is now consolidating gains near the $17,150 level. There was a minor decline below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $16,880 low to $17,247 high.

On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $17,150 level. There is also a major contracting triangle forming with resistance near $17,220 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The first major resistance is near the $17,300 zone, above which the price may perhaps revisit the $17,450 zone.

The next major resistance is near $17,500, above which the price start a steady increase and rise towards the $18,000 zone in the near term.

Dips Limited in BTC?
