Bitcoin price begins a new decline
The $66,000 resistance level was not enough to support Bitcoin’s price. BTC peaked at $66,400 before resuming a decline. The $65,000 support level was breached and the 100 hourly simple moving mean saw a significant decline.
Even below $63,500, the price traded lower than $63,000. On the hourly chart, the BTC/USD pairs showed a breakout below a rising channel that had support close to $64,400. For a drop below $62,000, the bears gained momentum.
An immediate low has formed at $61,126. The market is consolidating losses. A resistance level of $62,000 is nearby. Near the $62,400 mark is the first significant resistance. The 23.6% Fib Retracement Level of the recent fall from the $66,349 swing high level to $61,126 low is within reach.
The doors to a sustained recovery could open if the price breaks through $62,400 resistance. Near the $63,000 mark is the next significant resistance. Now, the main resistance to breakout is at or near $63,750.
