Besides, there is a formation of a bullish trendline with support close to the $7,100 mark on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD trading pair. The price of the digital currency is currently surging higher and trading close to the 50 percent Fibonacci retracement of the previous swing from the high of $7,302 to the low of $7,066.
On the upside, the immediate hurdle for the digital currency is close to the $7,215 and $7,220 marks. However, the first major resistance is close to the $7,250 mark or the 76.4 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the high of $7,302 to the low of $7,066.
A successful break over the $7,250 mark could pave the way for more gains towards the $7,300 and $7,400 marks. Over those levels, the next key hurdle is close to the $7,500 mark. Bitcoin has been trapped below the $7,500 mark over the past week, and it needs enough bullish traction to break over that level.
On the downside, Bitcoin has found strong support close to the $7,050 mark and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, if digital currency fails to hold gains over the $7,050 and $7k support marks, it could begin a fresh downtrend. A break below the $7k mark would pave the way for more losses towards the $6,800 support mark.
