Bitcoin's price continues to fall.
Bitcoin's price began a new major decline after failing to hold above the $42,000 support level. BTC breached several key supports near $40,000, ushering it into a bearish zone.
The price fell below the $39,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average, gaining bearish momentum. It even fell below the $38,000 support level, reaching as low as $37,801. The current price action suggests that there will be more downsides below $37,800.
If the price of bitcoin rises, it may encounter resistance near the $38,500 level. It is near the 23.6 percent Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $41,920 swing high to the $37,801 low.
On the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair, a key bearish trend line is forming with resistance near $38,500. The first significant resistance is located near $39,800. It is nearing the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $41,920 swing high to the $37,801 low.
A clear break above the trend line resistance, followed by a break above $39,800, could kick-start a steady increase. The bulls' next major resistance could be near the $40,500 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
More Bitcoin losses?
