Why BTC Could Still Struggle Around $19,500

Bitcoin price started another decline below the $20,000 support zone. The price even traded below the $19,200 support zone and spiked below the $18,800 level.

There was a test of the $18,600 zone and the price traded as low as $18,617. Recently, there was a sharp upward move and the price climbed above the $19,500 resistance. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $21,697 swing high to $18,617 low.

Then, the price is now facing a strong resistance below the $20,000 zone and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $19,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USDT pair. The trend line is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $21,697 swing high to $18,617 low. An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $20,500 level.

The next key resistance is near the $19,950 zone. A clear move above the trend line resistance and then $19,950 could push the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise towards the $19,650 level. The next major resistance sits near the $20,500 level. If bitcoin fails to clear the $20,500 resistance zone, it could start another decline. An immediate support on the downside is near the $20,000 level.

The next major support now sits near the $19,800 level, below which the price could decline heavily. In the stated case, the price may perhaps decline towards the $18,500 level.
