Bitcoin Price Analysis

Recently, bitcoin price failed to climb above the $10,500 resistance against the US Dollar. As a result, the BTC/USD pair started a slow and steady decline below the $10,400 support. Moreover, there was a break below the $10,350 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). It opened the doors for more downsides below $10,200. Earlier, the price spiked below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last key leg from the $9,331 low to $10,950 swing high.

However, the price remained well bid near the $9,900 and $9,880 levels. Additionally, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last key leg from the $9,331 low to $10,950 swing high also acted as a support. At the moment, the price is trading in a contracting range near the $10,200 level. More importantly, there is a crucial breakout pattern forming with resistance near $10,320 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair.

If bitcoin price breaks the $10,320 resistance area, there could be a decent upward move. The next key resistance is near the $10,500 level. Any further upsides could push the price towards the $11,000 resistance zone. On the downside, the breakdown support is near the $10,150 level. If there is a close below $10,150, the price could accelerate its decline.

The next major support is near $9,880, below which there are chances of a drop towards the $9,550 level. An intermediate support is near the $9,710 level. It represents the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last key leg from the $9,331 low to $10,950 swing high.
