Bitcoin Price Analysis

After a strong rally, bitcoin price started a downside correction from the $9,400 swing high against the US Dollar. BTC corrected lower below $9,200 and $9,000, but it remained stable in a positive zone.

The price remained well bid above the $8,400 support and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The last swing low was formed near $8,548 and the price is currently consolidating gains above the $8,520 pivot level.

The recent swing high was at $9,128 and the price is currently trading just above $9,000. An initial support is near the $8,840 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $8,548 swing low to $9,128 high.

Moreover, there is a major contracting triangle forming with resistance near $9,110 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. If the pair breaks the triangle resistance, it could attempt an upside break above the $9,200 resistance zone.

If the bulls succeed in clearing the $9,200 resistance, it could continue to rise above the $9,400 and $9,500 resistance levels. The next major hurdle above the $9,500 level is at $9,880 and $10,000.

If there is a downside break below the triangle support, there is a risk of a bearish break below the $8,500 and $8,400 support levels in the near term.
