On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $35,500 level. The first major resistance is near the $36,000 level and the trend line. The next major resistance is near the $37,000 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $40,417 high to $33,650 low.
A close above the $37,000 resistance zone could open the doors for a steady increase. The next major barrier for the bulls is near $40,000 level.
More Losses in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to clear the $36,000 resistance, there is a risk of a downside break. An initial support on the downside is near the $34,500 level.
The first major support is near the $34,000 level. If there is a downside break below the $34,000 support, the price could decline towards the $32,000 support zone in the coming sessions. Any more losses could clear the path for a test of the $30,000 level.
