Bitcoin Price Remains At Risk
This past week, bitcoin price saw a sharp decline below the $35,000 and $34,000 support levels against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair even tumbled below the $30,000 support and settled well below the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
A low was formed near $28,800 before the price started an upside correction. It broke the $30,000 level and it even recovered above the $31,500 level.
There was also a test of the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $37,847 swing high to $28,867 low. There is also a short-term contracting triangle forming with resistance near $33,000 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair.

If there is a triangle break, the price could face hurdles near the $33,800 and $34,000 levels. There is also a key bearish trend line forming near $34,500 on the same chart. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $37,847 swing high to $28,867 low.
A close above the $34,000 and $34,500 resistance levels could open the doors for a larger increase. The next major hurdle is near the $38,000 level.
Fresh Drop in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to clear the $33,500 and $34,000 resistance levels, there is a risk of another decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $31,800 level.
A clear break below the $31,800 and $31,500 support levels could clear the path for a push towards the $30,000 support zone in the near term. Any more losses might call for a test of $28,800.
