Bitcoin Price Analysis

There was a short-term support formed near the $3,345 level in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair corrected a few points and traded above the $3,360 and $3,370 levels. There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,444 high to $3,337 low. The price even spiked above the $3,375 resistance, but it failed to hold gains. Sellers defended gains above the $3,380 and $3,400 levels. As a result there was a fresh dip and the price retested the $3,345 support.

It is currently correcting higher towards the $3,375 and $3,380 resistances. There is also a major bearish trend line formed with resistance at $3,375 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,444 high to $3,337 low is also near $3,391. Finally, the 100 hourly simple moving average is positioned near the $3,390 level to act as a solid resistance. Therefore, it seems like there are many hurdles on the upside near $3,375, $3,390 and $3,400. On the downside, the key support is at $3,345, below which the price could break the $3,337 swing low.

Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is trading in a bearish zone below $3,400. If buyers gain traction above $3,375, $3,390 and $3,400, there could be a decent upward move towards $3,500 in the near term.
