Bitcoin price is showing a few bearish signs below $7,400 against the US Dollar. BTC must stay above $7,120 to avoid a nasty decline below $7,000.<\/em><\/p>\n Yesterday, we saw a downside correction in bitcoin price from the $7,700 resistance area<\/a> against the US Dollar. The price traded below the $7,400 and $7,300 support levels.<\/p>\n Moreover, the price struggled to stay above the $7,260 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It opened the doors for more losses and the price traded close to the $7,160 support.<\/p>\n A low is formed near $7,159 and the price is currently consolidating losses. It seems like there is a short term contracting triangle forming with resistance near $7,240 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair.<\/p>\n Besides, the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $7,689 high to $7,159 low is near the $7,284 level. More importantly, the 100 hourly SMA is positioned near the $7,300 level.<\/p>\n Therefore, a successful break above $7,240 and $7,300 might start a decent upward move. The next key resistance is near the $7,400 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $7,689 high to $7,159 low.<\/p>\n Additionally, there is a key connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $7,480 on the same chart. To start a strong upward move, bitcoin price must settle above $7,400 and $7,500.<\/p>\n The next major resistance is near the $7,700 level, above which the price is likely to test the $8,000 resistance<\/a>. On the other hand, the price could decline further below the $7,160 and $7,120 support levels.<\/p>\n If the bears gain traction below $7,120, there are high chances of a sharp decline below the $7,000 support area. In the mentioned case, the price is likely to revisit the $6,660 area.<\/p>\nBitcoin Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
