Bitcoin Price Approaching Key Supports
Yesterday, we saw a decent recovery wave in bitcoin price above the $10,200 resistance against the US Dollar. BTC even broke the 100 hourly simple moving average and spiked above the $10,400 resistance.
However, the bulls failed to gain strength and the price remained below the $10,500 resistance. A high is formed near $10,492 and the price is currently correcting lower. There was a break below the $10,350 and $10,300 levels.
Bitcoin price trades below $10,400. Source:The next major support is near the $10,200 level and the 100 hourly SMA. On the upside, the price is facing a strong resistance near the $10,400 and $10,500 levels.
More Losses in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to stay above the $10,200 support and the 100 hourly SMA, there is a risk of more losses. The next major support is near the $10,160 level (the previous breakout zone).
A close below the $10,160 and $10,150 levels may perhaps increase chances of another breakdown. In the stated case, the price could even revisit the $9,850 support level. A daily close below the $9,850 level is likely to push the price towards $9,500.
