Bitcoin Price Showing Recovery Signs

A new weekly low was formed near $8,991 and recently the price started an upside correction. It recovered above the $9,150 and $9,200 levels to start a decent recovery. Besides, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $9,660 swing high to $8,991 low.

The price is currently trading in a range and consolidating above $9,200. On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $9,300 and $9,330 levels. There is also a major contracting triangle forming with resistance near $9,330 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

The triangle resistance is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $9,660 swing high to $8,991 low. If bitcoin breaks the $9,300 and $9,330 resistance levels, it could test the next resistance at $9,400.

Any further gains could lead the price towards the 100 hourly SMA or the $9,500 resistance, where the bears are likely to take a stand.

Fresh Decline in BTC

On the other hand, bitcoin price might start a fresh decline if it fails to stay above the triangle support and $9,200. An initial support below the $9,200 level is at $9,150.

The next major support is near the $9,000 level. A successful daily close below the $9,000 support level could open the doors for another sharp decline and the price might dive towards the $8,500 support level in the near term.
