There was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $19,150 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair struggled to capitalize and it is currently sliding from the $19,432 swing high. Bitcoin Price is Attempting Upside Break

There was a steady increase in bitcoin price after a couple of spikes below $19,000. BTC broke the $19,000 resistance level and it even settled above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

More importantly, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance at $19,150 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair surpassed the $19,400 level, but there was lack of bullish momentum.

Bitcoin struggled to even test the $19,500 resistance level after the trend line break. A high is formed near $19,432 and the price is currently declining. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $18,868 low to $19,432 high.

The price is now approaching the $19,150 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The broken trend line at $19,150 and the 100 hourly simple moving average are providing support.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $18,868 low to $19,432 high is also near the $19,150 level. As long as the price is above $19,150 and the 100 hourly SMA, it could attempt another upside break. The main resistance is still near $19,500, above which the price may possibly test $20,000.

Downside Break in BTC?

If bitcoin fails to stay above the $19,150 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average, it could decline sharply. An initial support is near the $19,000 level.

A proper close below the $19,000 support might increase pressure on the bulls and the bears are likely to gain traction. The next major support sits near the $18,500 level.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is slowly gaining momentum in the bearish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is currently just above the 50 level.

Major Support Levels – $19,150, followed by $19,000.
