Technical Analysis of the Bitcoin Price

From the $18,500 area in relation to the US dollar, the price of bitcoin started to steadily rise. BTC/USD moved into a bullish zone after rising above the $19,500 and $20,000 resistance levels.

The pair stabilized above the $20,000 mark, the 100 simple moving average (4-hour red) and the 200 simple moving average, as shown on the 4-hour chart (green, 4-hours).

On the same chart, the price throughout the rise breached a significant negative trend line that served as resistance near $19,370. The $21,000 resistance zone was tested last. Prior to a downward reversal, a peak was established around $21,009.

An early support for the downside is located close to the $20,150 mark. The $19,800 region serves as the primary breakdown assistance. In the following days, bitcoin might fall toward the $19,000 support if there is a downward break.

The price is up against a strong resistance level at $19,700. The $21,000 mark serves as the primary resistance. A close above $21,000 might perhaps signal the beginning of another gradual rise in the coming days.

In the hypothetical situation, the cost might increase to around $22,000. Any further increases might lay the stage for a move in the direction of the $22,500 mark.
