Bitcoin price is facing a strong resistance near $15,500 and $15,600 against the US Dollar. BTC could clear the $15,500 resistance unless there is a clear break below the 100 hourly SMA.

After forming a decent support near $15,000, bitcoin price attempted another increase. BTC broke the $15,200 pivot level to avoid more losses and it settled above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

There was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $15,850 high to $14,815 swing low. The price even climbed above the $15,400 level, but it seems like the bulls are facing an uphill task near the $15,500 level.

The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $15,850 high to $14,815 swing low is also acting as a resistance. On the downside, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $15,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

It seems like bitcoin price is approaching a major breakout either above the $15,500 resistance or below the trend line support. If there is a clear break and close above $15,500, the price could rise sharply. The next immediate resistance is near $15,600, above which the price could revisit the $15,850 high.

If bitcoin fails to clear the $15,500 resistance, there is a risk of a downside break. An initial support is near the $15,200 level, the trend line, and the 100 hourly SMA.

A proper close below the trend line support and the 100 hourly SMA could trigger a sharp decline. The next key support is near the $15,000 level, below which there is a risk of a drop below the $14,815 swing low in the near term.
