Bitcoin Price Reclaims $100K

The cost of Bitcoin commenced an appreciable increase, surpassing the $96,500 resistance point. Subsequently, it managed to scale beyond the resistance at $97,200 and $98,800.

The price managed to overcome numerous obstacles as it neared the $100,000 mark and even peaked at over $102,000. It reached a maximum of $102,479, but is now pausing to consolidate its gains, sitting comfortably above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level following its recent surge from the $97,251 low point to the $102,479 high.

On the hourly Bitcoin-to-USD chart, there appears to be a developing uptrend line offering support at around $99,800. This trend line is near the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the price drop between the $97,251 low and the $102,479 high.
