The price dropped below the $63,000 level. The bears managed to push it below the $62,500 level and the 100-hour simple moving average. There was also a move below the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $59,951 low to the $63,798 high.
Bitcoin is now trading below $62,500 and the 100-hour simple moving average. A bearish trend line is forming with resistance at $61,850. The bulls are now trying to protect the $61,400 zone and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $59,951 low to the $63,798 high. If there is another increase, the price might face resistance near the $61,850 level and the trend line.
The first major resistance is near the $62,250 level. The next major resistance could be at $62,500. A clear move above the $62,500 resistance might start a steady increase and push the price higher.
In this case, the price could rise and test the $63,250 resistance. Any further gains might drive BTC towards the $63,650 resistance in the near term.
If Bitcoin fails to climb above the $62,250 resistance area, it could continue to decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $61,400 level. The first major support is at $60,850.
