Bitcoin Could Test and Fail Near $6,000
After a short term downside correction, bitcoin found support near the $4,350 area against the US Dollar. BTC price recovered in the past few sessions and climbed back above the $5,000 resistance level.The recent recovery was positive since the price was able to clear the 50% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $6,000 swing high to $4,333 low. The bulls were able to push the price above the $5,200 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
Recovery Remains Capped
If bitcoin corrects higher, it is likely to face hurdles near the $6,000 resistance zone. The bears are likely to take a strong stand near $6,000 and $6,050.The main hurdle is near the $6,400 and $6,500 levels, above which the bulls are likely to have an upper hand. If they fail to lead the price above $6,000 and $6,500, there are high chances of another bearish wave in the near term.
