If there are other downsides, the price could test the $ 32,800 support. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $ 31,196 low to the $ 34,536 high. On the upside, the price is facing hurdles near the $ 34,500 level.

A significant interruption and close above the $ 34,500 level could potentially open the doors for a surge above the $ 35,000 level. In the given case, the next major stop for the bulls could be $ 36,500 or $ 37,200.

Dips supported in BTC?

If Bitcoin fails to hit the $ 34,500 and $ 35,000 levels, it could start a new downtrend. Initial downside support is near the $ 33,000 and $ 32,800 levels.

The main support is now forming near the $ 32,400 level and the 100 hour simple moving average. A close below the 100-hour SMA could in the short term trigger another decline towards the USD 30,000 support zone.
