Bitcoin Price Starts Fresh Rally

Bitcoin price extended losses below the $19,000 support zone. Yesterday, the US CPI data was released, which posted an increase of 8.2%. It pushed BTC price below the $18,500 support zone.


The bears gained strength and the price dived to the $18,200 support zone. However, the bears failed to push the price further lower. A low was formed near $18,142 and there was a strong bullish reaction. The price gained bullish momentum and climbed above the $19,000 level.


Bitcoin price cleared the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $20,443 swing high to $18,142 low. Besides, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $19,150 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.


The price is now trading below above $19,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It is trading near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $20,443 swing high to $18,142 low.

On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $20,000 level. A clear move above the $20,000 resistance might pump the price further higher. The next major resistance is near the $20,450 level. Any more gains might start a steady increase towards the $21,200 resistance zone.


Dips Supported in BTC?

If bitcoin fails to rise above the $20,000 resistance zone, it could start a downside correction. An immediate support on the downside is near the $19,500 zone.


The next major support is near the $19,200 zone and the 100 hourly SMA. A downside break below the $19,200 support zone might increase selling pressure. In the stated case, the price could decline towards the $18,500 support zone.
