Bitcoin price is now trading above the 50-day simple moving average (blue line). Moreover, it is still developing in accordance with the bullish flag pattern on the daily chart, which has resistance at $68,000.
An immediate resistance on the upside is located near the $66,750 area or the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the upward move from the $72,762 swing high to $57,072 low. The first significant resistance remains near the $68,000 bullish flag trend line.
If the BTC price breaks the $66,750 resistance and holds above the $68,000 resistance, it could trigger a major upward move. The next key resistance is at $69,000, above which the price could accelerate upward. A daily close above the $69,000 resistance area could open the door to the $75,000 region.
Will Bitcoin get blocked again?
Conversely, Bitcoin price may face resistance near $66,750 or $68,000 and decline again. The immediate support is now located near $65,000 at the 50-day simple moving average (blue line).
The first important support is near the $63,500 area. The next support is forming near the $62,200 area, above which the price could test the key support of $60,000. The main uptrend support remains near the $56,000-57,000 area.
If the bulls fail to protect the $57,000 support, there could be a deeper decline. In such a case, the price could drop to the $46,850 support.
Overall, Bitcoin is rising, boosting the sentiment of the crypto market. However, BTC/USD still needs to clear the $66,750 and $68,000 resistance levels to start a new uptrend.
