The pair could start a strong rally if there is a clear break above the $19,300 resistance zone. Bitcoin Price is Stuck In RangeYesterday, we discussed the importance of the 100 hourly simple moving average and $18,800 for bitcoin price. BTC did find a strong support near the 100 hourly simple moving average and there was no downside break below the $18,500 support.
The price seems to be trading in a broad range above the $18,500 and $18,800 support. The last swing low was formed near $18,117 before the price climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the key downward move from the $19,957 swing high to $18,117 swing low.

Source: BTCUSD on TradingView.comThe triangle resistance is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key downward move from the $19,957 swing high to $18,117 swing low.
Therefore, a close above the triangle resistance and $19,320 could open the doors for a larger increase. The next key resistance is near the $19,500, above which bitcoin might test the $20,000 zone.
Downside Break in BTC?If bitcoin fails to clear the $19,300 resistance level, there is a risk of a downside break. An initial support is near the triangle lower trend line at $18,800 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
A downside break below the $18,800 support level could push the price towards $18,500. Any more losses may possibly spark a sharp decline towards the $18,000 level.
