Bitcoin Price Holds Support

The cost of a Bitcoin unit dropped once again below the $70,000 mark, plunging further to hit the $68,500 threshold following an unexpected surge in US Consumer Price Index (CPI). Despite this setback, determined buyers defended the price at around $67,500.

At a price of $67,500, a new trough formed and the market began to climb. It surpassed the previous hurdles at $69,200 and $69,500. The 50% retracement mark of the decline from the peak of $72,597 to the bottom of $67,500 was also crossed by the price.

On the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair, Bitcoin surpassed a significant bearish trend line with a resistance level at $69,600, allowing it to trade above $70,000 and now rests above the 100-hour Simple Moving Average.

An immediate obstacle for further price increase lies around $71,400 or the 76.4% mark of the price drop from the peak of $72,597 to the low of $67,500. The initial major hurdle may be at $72,500. Presently, the next resistance is located at $72,800. Once this resistance is surpassed, the price might continue climbing.

In this scenario, the bitcoin price may climb up to around $73,200. The next significant barrier for the price lies at approximately $73,500. Should the price continue to rise, it could potentially push Bitcoin towards the $75,000 resistance level in the short term.

Another Decline In BTC?

If Bitcoin doesn’t manage to break past the $71,400 barrier, there’s a risk of another price drop. The closest support lies around $70,000 and the 100-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA).

If the price falls below the initial significant support of $69,200, it may trigger a downward trend towards $68,500. Further declines could potentially push the price towards the nearby support area around $67,500.
