On the downside, the $7,400 support mark is acting as a strong buy zone. The 50 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the previous swing from the low of $7,028 to the high of $7,788 is also close to the $7,408 and it is acting as a nice support zone. The digital currency is currently consolidating over the $7,500 support mark, which is its immediate support mark.
More importantly, there is a formation of a near-term contracting triangle with a hurdle close to the $7,625 mark on the 4-hour chart of the BTC/USD trading pair. If the digital currency successfully breaks over the $7,625 and $7,650 hurdle points on the upside, the price of the will likely resume its uptrend.
Over those levels, the next hurdle of the digital currency is close to the $7,800 mark, over which the bulls are likely to push prices towards the $8k hurdle point. However, the bulls need to continue holding gains for this to happen in the near term.
Bitcoin (BTC) has found decent support on the downside. However, if the digital currency fails to break over the $7,650 mark, it could plunge further. On the downside, the immediate hurdle is close to the $7,500 mark. However, the first key support for the digital currency is close to the $7,400 mark, where the bulls are more likely to show up.
Nevertheless, if the bulls fail to protect that support level, then the next downward move might send Bitcoin to the next major support at $7,200.
