Key Points

Bitcoin price is consolidating losses above the $3,600 support against the US Dollar. BTC may continue to struggle and it could even break the $3,500 pivot area.

The past few hours were mostly bearish for bitcoin price below the $3,840 resistance against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair started an upside correction after trading as low as $3,669. It moved above the $3,700 and $3,740 levels. There was even a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $4,250 swing high to $3,669 low. However, the upside move was capped by the $3,840 and $3,850 resistances.

Moreover, there is a major bearish trend line in place with resistance at $3,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair needs to break the trend line and the $3,840 resistance to gain momentum. The next resistance is near the $3,960 level.
