Bitcoin News Today – Bitcoin has failed to break over the hurdle on the upside again, and it is now trading deep in the red. The bulls failed to push prices over the $6,900 and $7k hurdle points against the US dollar. The price of the digital currency is back in a bearish area and it looks poised for more losses towards the $6,200 and $6k marks.
Bitcoin (BTC) has been trapped beneath the $7k mark over the past few days. The price of the digital currency failed to surge over the $7k hurdle point and began a fresh downtrend. There was a sharp plunge below the $6,800 mark and the 100 hourly simple moving average. That move paved the way for more losses and the price of the digital currency plunged towards the $6,555 support mark.
Bitcoin plunged to a new weekly low of $6,476 before it started correcting higher. The digital currency just broke over the $6,555 and $6,600 marks a few hours ago. There was also a break over the 23.6 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the high of $6,984 to the low of $6,476.

Nevertheless, the digital currency has several resistances to break on the upside. The immediate hurdle for the coin is close to the $6,730 mark. That represents the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the high of $6,984 to the low of $6,476. The first major hurdle for the digital currency is close to the $6,800 mark and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is also a formation of two major bearish trendlines with hurdles close to $6,790 and $6,960.
If the price of the digital currency breaks over its current levels, it is likely to encounter a strong selling interest close to $6,800. However, for Bitcoin to return to the positive territory, the bulls need to push prices over the $6,800 hurdle point and amass traction over the $7k hurdle point.
Once the present correction wave is complete, BTC is likely to resume its downtrend below the $6,600 mark. Below that level, the next support for the digital currency is close to the $6,555 mark, below which Bitcoin might struggle to hold gains over the $6,476 mark.
If the bulls fail to show up and push prices higher, Bitcoin might plunge towards the $6,200 support mark or the $6k pivot area in the near term.
