Bitcoin Price Analysis

After struggling near the $9,500 resistance, bitcoin started a steady decline against the US Dollar. BTC traded below a couple of key supports near the $9,400 and $9,320 levels.

Moreover, there was a break below the $9,200 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price even spiked below the $9,000 support area and traded to a new weekly low near the $8,951 level.

Recently, there was an upside correction above the $9,250 level. Besides, the price climbed above the $9,300 resistance, but it failed to gain momentum above $9,400. A high was formed near $9,452 and the price is currently declining.

There was a break below the $9,200 support, plus the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $8,951 low to $9,452 high. At the outset, bitcoin price is testing the $9,080 support area.

It seems like the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $8,951 low to $9,452 high is acting as a decent support. However, the main support is near the $9,000 level, below which there is a risk of an extended decline towards the $8,950 and $8,830 levels.

On the upside, there are many hurdles near the $9,200 and $9,300 levels. More importantly, the 100 hourly simple moving average is also near the $9,300 level to act as a hurdle.

Finally, there is a declining channel forming with resistance near $9,400 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Therefore, the price must climb above $9,300 and $9,400 to start a strong rise in the near term.
