As a seasoned researcher with years of experience tracking Bitcoin‘s volatile journey, I can’t help but feel a pang of familiarity as I observe the latest decline in BTC prices. It seems we’ve been here before, teetering on the edge of $105,000, only to find ourselves slipping below yet again.
The cost of Bitcoin has dropped again, falling below the $105,000 level. At present, Bitcoin is decreasing by almost 5%, trying to finish below the significant support level of $100,000.
- Bitcoin started a fresh decline from the $108,000 resistance zone.
- The price is trading below $104,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.
- There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $102,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
- The pair could start a fresh increase if it stays above the $98,000 support zone.
Bitcoin Price Takes Hit
The price of Bitcoin made an effort to surge past the $108,000 barrier but couldn’t sustain the rise, instead falling back below the $105,000 mark.
Below the $102,500 support, there was a noticeable drop in price that took it down to as low as $98,728. Currently, the price is stabilizing after this decline. Furthermore, a bearish trend line is emerging on the hourly chart of BTC/USD pair, with resistance at $102,000.
currently, Bitcoin’s trading price hovers beneath $104,000 and aligns with its 100-hour Simple Moving Average. If it rises, it might encounter resistance around $100,500. Interestingly, this level is almost at the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement mark of the decline from the peak of $108,297 to the trough of $98,728.
The first key resistance is near the $101,000 level and the trend line. A clear move above the $101,000 resistance might send the price higher. The next key resistance could be $102,250. A close above the $102,250 resistance might send the price further higher.
In this scenario, the cost may climb and challenge the resistance at $103,500 or the 50% Fibonacci retracement point from the peak at $108,297 to the trough at $98,728. Should it continue to rise, it could potentially push the price towards the $106,000 mark.
More Downsides In BTC?
If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $101,000 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Immediate support on the downside is near the $98,500 level.
Initially, a significant level of support can be found around $98,000. Currently, another area of support is close to the $96,200 region. If there are further losses, the price may move towards the nearby support at $95,500.
