Bitcoin Price AnalysisThe past few hours were very bearish as bitcoin price declined by more than $500 against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair started a sharp downside move and fell below key supports at $7,500, $7,200 and $7,000. It even declined below the $6,800 and traded towards the $6,600 level where buyers emerged. A low was formed near the $6,628 and the price is currently correcting higher.
On the upside, an initial resistance is around the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level of the last decline from the $7,350 high to $6,628 low. On the upside, there is also a major bearish trend line formed with resistance at $6,950 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The same trend line is close to the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last decline from the $7,350 high to $6,628 low. Therefore, if the price corrects higher, it could face sellers near the $6,900 and $7,000 levels.
