Bitcoin Price Faces Uphill Task

Bitcoin price remained stable above the $34,000 support zone. BTC attempted a fresh increase above the $35,250 resistance zone. There was a break above a major contracting triangle with resistance near $35,000 on the hourly chart.

It even cleared the $35,500 resistance, but the bears were active near the $36,000 zone. A high was formed near $35,900 and the price is again moving lower. There was a move below the $35,500 level. The price declined below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $34,560 swing low to the $35,900 high.

Bitcoin is now trading above $35,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. It seems to be approaching the $35,200 support or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $34,560 swing low to the $35,900 high.

If it stays above $35,200, there might be a fresh increase. On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $35,560 level. The next key resistance could be near $35,900 or the recent high. The main resistance is still near $36,000. A clear move above the $36,000 resistance might open the doors for a move toward the $37,000 resistance.

The next key resistance could be $37,500, above which the price could rise toward $38,000. Any more gains might send BTC toward the $38,800 level.

More Downsides In BTC?

The next major support is near the $35,000 zone or the 100 hourly SMA. If there is a move below $35,000, there is a risk of more downsides. In the stated case, the price could revisit the $34,000 support level in the near term.
