Bitcoin Price Takes Hit

There was a move above the $107,500 and $108,000 levels. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $114,000 swing high to the $106,717 low. However, the bulls are now facing many hurdles.

A close above the $110,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $111,500 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $112,000 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $113,500.
