Bitcoin Price Analysis

Yesterday, we discussed that there could be a recovery above $7,050 in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair did move above $7,050, but as discussed upsides were capped. The price failed to break the $7,070 and $7,150 resistance levels. More importantly, there was a rejection pattern formed near the $7,150 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

As a result, there was a sharp downside move and the price broke the $6,880 and $6,830 support levels. It moved into a bearish zone and even broke the $6,600 and $6,500 support levels. A low was formed near $6,393 and the price is currently consolidating losses. An initial resistance is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $7,157 high to $6,393 low.
