Bitcoin Price Starts Consolidation

Bitcoin price failed to stay above the $115,500 zone and started a fresh decline. BTC declined below the $115,000 and $114,000 support levels to enter a short-term bearish zone.

The decline gained pace below the $113,500 level. A low was formed at $111,557 and the price is now consolidating losses below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $117,920 swing high to the $111,557 low.

Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $113,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $113,500 level and the trend line. The next resistance could be $114,000. A close above the $114,000 resistance might send the price further higher.

In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $114,750 resistance level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $117,920 swing high to the $111,557 low. Any more gains might send the price toward the $115,500 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $116,250.

The next support is now near the $110,500 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $108,800 support in the near term. The main support sits at $107,500, below which BTC might gain bearish momentum.
