It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $64,460 swing high to the $58,448 low.
The next key resistance could be $63,000. A clear move above the $63,000 resistance might start a steady increase and send the price higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $63,500 resistance. Any more gains might send BTC toward the $65,000 resistance in the near term.
