Bitcoin News Today – Bitcoin (BTC) is currently showing some positive signs. The digital currency is currently correcting higher from the swing low of $3,906 against the US dollar. Bitcoin is now forming a crucial breakout pattern, and this pattern will likely determine the next move.
This past week has been really bloody for the digital currency market, as the majority of coins in the market lost a significant fraction of their values. Some digital currencies even lost as much as 90 percent of their value. The world’s largest digital currency by market cap, BTC, plunged below the $6k and $5k marks against the U.S. dollar.
The price of the digital currency even broke below the $4,200 support mark and settled well beneath the 100 simple moving average. Bitcoin formed a new monthly low close to the $3,906 mark and the price is presently correcting higher. The digital currency recovered losses and surged over the $4,500 and $5k hurdle points.

Moreover, there was a break over the 23.6 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the recent swing from the high of $7,974 to the low of $3,906. The bulls were able to push the price of the digital currency over the $5,500 hurdle point. Nevertheless, the $6k hurdle zone acted as strong resistance for the bulls.
The 50 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the high of $7,974 to the low of $3,906 is also acting as a major hurdle. At press time, there is a formation of a crucial contracting triangle with a hurdle close to the $5,350 mark on the 4-hour chart of the BTC/USD trading pair. If the digital currency breaks over the triangle resistance, it could start a fresh rally over the $6k hurdle point.
Nevertheless, the major hurdle of the coin is close to the $6,450 and $6,500 marks. There is also a formation of a connecting bearish trendline with a hurdle close to $6,450 on the same chart. To start a fresh and convincing rally, Bitcoin (BTC) needs to break over the $6k hurdle point and gain traction over the $6,500 barrier.
If the price of the digital currency fails to break over the $5,500 and $6k marks, chances are it could start another bearish move. A break below the $5k and $4,850 marks is likely to pave the way for more losses. The immediate support of the coin is close to the $4,200 mark. Below that level, the next support is at $4k.
