The Bitcoin price is gaining momentum
Over the past week, Bitcoin price has extended its surge above the key resistance zone of USD 50,000 against the US dollar. The BTC / USD pair even surpassed the USD 55,000 level and was well above the simple moving average of 100 (4 hours).
It traded at a new all-time high near $ 57,500 and recently started a downward correction. There was a sharp drop below the $ 56,000 and $ 55,000 levels. The price broke the 23.6% fib retracement level of the move up from the low of $ 50,634 to the high of $ 57,500.
However, the bulls were active near the USD 54,000 support level. The 50% fib retracement level of the uptrend from the low of $ 50,634 to the high of $ 57,500 also acted as decent support.
A major bullish trendline is also forming on the 4-hour chart for the BTC / USD pair with support near USD 54,000. The pair is also bouncing back, trading well over $ 55,000. Initial resistance is near the $ 57,000 level. The first major resistance is near the high of $ 57,500.
A clear break above the USD 57,500 resistance should open the doors to further benefits. The next major drag for the bulls is at $ 60,000.
Dips supported in BTC?
If Bitcoin is struggling to hit the $ 57,500 resistance level, there is an opportunity for a downward correction. The first major support is near the trend line and at $ 54,000.
