Bitcoin (BTC) Price Today – BTC / USD
The digital currency is showing some positive actions but it seems to be encountering resistance close to the $5,300 zone and the 100 hourly simple moving average. More importantly, there is a formation of a major bearish trendline with a hurdle close to the $5,350 mark on the one-hour chart of the BTC/USD trading pair. The 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the high of $5,986 to the low of $4,354 is also acting as a hurdle.
If Bitcoin (BTC) successfully breaks over the $5,350 hurdle point and the 100 hourly simple moving average, the price is likely to continue surging higher. On the upside, the immediate hurdle of the digital currency is close to the $5,600 mark, over which the digital currency is likely to surge higher towards the $5,980 and $6k hurdle points. A break over the $6k hurdle point will pave the way for more gains towards the $6,500 mark.
If the price of the digital currency fails to break over the $5,350 hurdle point and the 100 hourly simple moving average, it is likely to resume its downtrend. If that happens, the initial support of the digital currency is close to the $5,050 and $5k marks. A break below the $5k support mark could increase the pressure on the bears and push the price of the digital currency towards the $4,500 mark.
