Bitcoin Price Recovers

The price even dipped below the $104,000 support level. Finally, it tested the $103,200 zone. A low was formed at $103,078 and the price is now recovering losses. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $110,411 swing high to the $103,078 low.
