Bitcoin Price Analysis
Recently, there was a sharp decline in bitcoin price below the $3,840 and $3,800 levels against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair spiked below the $3,775 level and traded as low as $3,760. Later, there was a sharp recovery above the $3,800 resistance level. The rebound was strong as the price even broke the $3,840 and $3,900 resistance levels. The price traded to a new weekly high above $3,940 before correcting lower. A high was formed at $3,946 and later the price dipped below the $3,900 level.
There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,760 low to $3,946 high. Sellers even pushed the price below the $3,880 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the decline was stopped near the $3,850 support. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $3,760 low to $3,946 high also acted as a support. On the downside, there is a crucial support near $3,830 and an ascending channel on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
At the outset, there is a short term declining channel in place with resistance at $3,900 on the same chart. In the short term, there is a risk of a downside push towards $3,840 or $3,830 before the price could climb higher. On the upside, a break above the $3,900 resistance is must for a fresh upward move.
