Bitcoin Soars Past $100K: Is $110K Next?

As a researcher tracking Bitcoin‘s movements, I am observing that its value is picking up speed and hovering above the $100,000 mark. If Bitcoin manages to surpass the $102,000 level, it could potentially gain momentum and move higher.

  • Bitcoin started a decent increase above the $100,000 zone.
  • The price is trading above $100,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.
  • There was a break above a short-term declining channel with resistance at $99,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The pair could start another increase if it stays above the $100,000 support zone.

Bitcoin Price Reclaims $100K

The value of Bitcoin began a notable surge beyond the $98,000 mark. Notably, it managed to surpass both the $98,500 and $98,800 thresholds.

The bulls managed to drive Bitcoin’s price above the significant level of $10,000, and it even surpassed $101,500. Moreover, there was a breakout from a temporary downtrend line with a resistance at $99,400 on the hourly Bitcoin-to-USD chart.

At $102,000, a peak was reached, and currently, the price is holding steady as it consolidates its gains, comfortably surpassing the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level during the uptrend that began at the $89,115 low and peaked at $102,000.

Currently, Bitcoin’s price has surpassed $100,800 and is also above its 100-hour Simple Moving Average. If it continues to rise, potential obstacles for Bitcoin are at approximately $102,000 and $102,500. Breaking through $102,500 could lead to further increase, with the next significant resistance potentially appearing around $104,000.

If the price breaks through the barrier of $104,000, it’s likely to climb higher, potentially reaching the $106,000 resistance point. Further advancements could cause the price to attempt the $108,500 resistance level.

Downside Correction In BTC?

If Bitcoin doesn’t manage to surpass the $102,000 barrier, there might be a drop in price. The initial support for any potential decline could be around $100,500. The significant first support level is at $100,000.

In simpler terms, the next potential support for the price is close to the $95,500 region or the halfway point of the upward trend from the $89,115 bottom to the $102,000 peak. If there are further losses, it might cause the price to move towards the nearby $93,500 support in the short term.
