Bitcoin price formed a new yearly high close to $20,000 before correcting lower against the US Dollar. BTC could accelerate its decline if there is a clear break below the 100 hourly SMA.<\/em><\/p>\n There was an upside extension in bitcoin price above the $19,500 resistance<\/a>. BTC even surpassed the previous swing high and traded close to the $20,000 barrier. However, there was no test of $20,000 and the price reacted to the downside.<\/p>\n There was a sharp decline of more than 5% and the price traded below the $19,000 level. Bitcoin found support near the $18,100 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A swing low was formed near $18,111 before the price corrected higher.<\/p>\n There was a recovery above $19,000, but the bears protected the $19,500 zone. A high is formed near $19,512 and the price is currently declining. It is trading below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent recovery from the $18,111 swing low to $19,512 high.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n It seems like there is major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $18,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair. On the downside, the price is approaching a key support at $18,350 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.<\/p>\n The 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent recovery from the $18,111 swing low to $19,512 high is also near $18,400. A downside break below the $18,350 support and the 100 hourly SMA could spark a larger decline. The next major support could be $18,000 or $17,850.<\/p>\n If bitcoin remains stable above the $18,350 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average, it could attempt a fresh increase. An initial hurdle for the bulls is near the trend line and $18,800.<\/p>\n\n
