Bitcoin started a recovery wave above the $17,000 and $17,200 resistance levels. The price is trading below $18,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $16,900 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair could resume its decline if there is a close below the $16,750 support zone. Bitcoin Price Faces Key Hurdle

Bitcoin price declined heavily below the $18,000 support zone. FTX’s fall is still hurting the market and there was a strong decline towards the $16,000 support zone.

The price traded as low as $15,555 and recently started an upside correction, similar to ethereum, bnb, and ripple. There was a steady recovery wave above the $16,500 and $17,000 resistance levels. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the main decline from the $20,670 swing high to $15,555 low. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support near $16,900 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

Bitcoin price also moved above the $17,500 level, but it struggled near the $18,000 resistance zone. The 50% Fib retracement level of the main decline from the $20,670 swing high to $15,555 low also acted as a strong resistance.

It is now trading below $18,500 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $17,400 level. The first major resistance is near the $18,000 level.
