Bitcoin Price Dips Again

Bitcoin price struggled to settle above the $60,000 resistance zone. BTC formed a top near the $60,200 level before the price started a fresh decline. There was a move below the $58,500 support zone.

The price declined below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $56,117 swing low to the $60,210 high. Besides, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $59,700 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

The pair retested the $58,000 support zone. Bitcoin price is now trading below $59,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. However, the price is still above the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $56,117 swing low to the $60,210 high.

On the upside, the price could face resistance near the $58,800 level. The first key resistance is near the $59,500 level. A clear move above the $59,500 resistance might send the price further higher in the coming sessions. The next key resistance could be $60,000.

A close above the $60,000 resistance might spark more upsides. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $61,500 resistance.

More Losses In BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $58,800 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Immediate support on the downside is near the $58,000 level.

The first major support is $57,650. The next support is now near the $57,000 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $55,500 support zone or even $55,000 in the near term.
