  Bitcoin Price Analysis

  Yesterday, we saw tight range moves in bitcoin price below the $5,160 resistance against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair struggled to clear the $5,160 and $5,200 resistance levels on many occasions. However, the bulls had the upper hand as they succeeded in pushing the price above the $5,160 and $5,200 resistance levels. There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the decline from the $5,510 high to $4,905 low.

  More importantly, yesterday’s discussed key bearish trend line was breached near $5,150 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair even cleared the crucial triangle resistance near the $5,140 level. It opened the doors for more gains above the $5,250 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The bulls pushed the price above the $5,300 level and a new weekly high was formed near the $5,343 level. At the moment, the price is consolidating gains above $5,300. An initial support is at $5,280 and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $5,067 low to $5,343 high.

  If there is a downside correction below the $5,280 level, the price could test the $5,200 support area. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $5,067 low to $5,343 high. The main support is near the $5,160 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $5,380 level. A clear break above the $5,380 resistance will most likely call for more gains above $5,400.

  

  Looking at the chart, bitcoin price clearly moved into a positive zone with a close above $5,200 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. In the short term, there could be a downside correction, but the bulls are likely to defend $5,250 or $5,200. Overall, bitcoin price is trading with a positive bias and likely to climb above $5,400.
