Bitcoin Price Eyes Steady Recovery

A low was formed near $17,600 before the price started an upside correction. There was a recovery wave above the $18,000 and $18,500 resistance levels. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $19,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $20,200 level. The first major resistance is near the $20,500 level. Any more gains might send the price towards the $21,000 level. A close above the $21,000 level could set the pace for a larger increase.
Fresh Decline in BTC?
