Bitcoin Price AnalysisYesterday, we saw a strong rally above the $3,750 resistance in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair spiked towards the $3,950 level and later corrected lower. However, the $3,830 support prevented losses and the price bounced back. It broke the last swing high and traded close to the $4,000 resistance. A new weekly high was formed at $3,973, but the price failed to test the $4,000 barrier. As a result, there was a fresh downside correction and the price declined below $3,950 and $3,920.
There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $3,684 low to $3,973 high. However, the current decline is finding bids near yesterday’s highlighted bullish trend line with support at $3,880. More importantly, it seems like there is a short term breakout pattern in place with support at $3,875 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. If there is a downside break, the pair could test the next key support at $3,830. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $3,684 low to $3,973 high.
If the price fails to hold the $3,830 support, it could test the main $3,800 support area in the near term. On the upside, the price must break the $3,925 and $3,950 resistance levels to revisit $3,975. The main resistance for buyers is near the $4,000 level, above which there are chances of further gains.
Looking at the chart, bitcoin price seems to be setting up for the next break either above $3,925 or below $3,875. In the short term, there could be a few bearish moves, but the $3,800 support is likely to hold losses. Below $3,800, the price could drop towards the $3,720 support.
