If the price remains stable above $73,650, it could attempt a fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near the $75,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $75,500 level.

Any more gains might send the price toward the $77,500 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $78,000.

Another Decline In BTC?
