Bitcoin price started a downside move from the $6,840 swing high against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair declined and broke the $6,700 support level. The decline was such that the price failed to hold the $6,680 support area. More importantly, there was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $6,445 low to $6,840 swing high.
There was a spike below the $6,580 support and the price settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average. On the downside, there is a bullish trend line with support at $6,560 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. If the pair breaks the trend line and $6,550, there is a risk of more slides. An initial support is around the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $6,445 low to $6,840 swing high at $6,540. Below this, the price may perhaps accelerate declines towards $6,500 and $6,450. On the upside, the $6,650 and the 100 hourly SMA are initial barriers.
Looking at the chart, yesterday’s highlighted connecting bearish trend line is intact with resistance at $6,680. A break above this trend line and $6,700 is needed for a recovery. The next resistances are seen near $6,750 and $6,800.
