It appears that the price of Bitcoin, that most curious of currencies, finds itself in a state of delightful stagnation, hovering just above the $95,000 support zone. One might say it is akin to a gentleman who, despite his best intentions, cannot quite muster the courage to propose to the lady of his affections until he has secured a more favorable position in society—namely, a settlement above the $100,000 mark, which would surely herald a fresh increase in fortunes.
- Our dear Bitcoin commenced a fresh ascent from the rather modest $94,200 zone.
- It now trades above the respectable $96,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average, which is rather impressive, I must say.
- There was a delightful break above a connecting bearish trend line, with resistance at $96,000, as noted on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data courtesy of the ever-reliable Kraken).
- Should the pair manage to clear the $98,500 zone, we might witness yet another increase, much to the delight of its admirers.
Bitcoin’s Aspirations for a Fresh Increase
Alas, Bitcoin has experienced a few losses, dipping below the $95,000 support level, much like a hapless suitor who has lost his way. It did, however, test the $94,200 zone, forming a low at $94,111 before embarking on a fresh increase within a rather narrow range.
With a move above the $95,000 and $96,000 levels, Bitcoin has cleared the 50% Fib retracement level of its downward move from the lofty heights of $98,440 to the rather dismal low of $94,111. The break above the bearish trend line at $96,000 is a cause for celebration, indeed!
Currently, Bitcoin is trading above $96,500 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average, which is quite the achievement. It also finds itself above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the aforementioned swing high to the low.
On the upside, immediate resistance is lurking near the $98,000 level, with the first key resistance at $98,500. Should it manage to close above $99,500, we may very well see the price ascend further, perhaps even testing the illustrious $100,000 resistance level. Any further gains might propel it toward the $100,500 level or, dare I say, even $102,000. How thrilling!
Is Another Decline in Bitcoin’s Future?
However, should Bitcoin fail to rise above the $98,500 resistance zone, it may find itself in the unfortunate position of commencing a fresh decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $97,200 level, with the first major support at $96,750.
The next support is now near the $96,200 zone, and any further losses might send the price scurrying back toward the $95,000 support in the near term. The main support, as it stands, resides at $94,200, much like a steadfast friend who remains loyal through thick and thin.
As for the technical indicators:
Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing its pace in the bullish zone, which is rather concerning.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now above the 50 level, which is a glimmer of hope.
Major Support Levels – $96,200, followed closely by $95,000.
Major Resistance Levels – $98,000 and $98,500, which are proving to be quite the formidable barriers.
