Bitcoin Price Loses Steam

An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $51,000 level. The next major resistance is near the $51,800 level. A clear break above the $51,080 resistance zone could open the doors for more upsides. The next key resistance is near the $52,000 level, above which the price could rise further. In the stated case, the price could rise towards the $53,500 level.
More Losses In BTC?
If bitcoin fails to clear the $51,800 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. An immediate support on the downside is near the $50,000 level.
The first major support is now forming near the $49,500 level and the 100 hourly SMA. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $47,210 swing low to $51,955 high. A downside break below the $49,500 support may perhaps increase selling pressure. The next stop for the bears might be $48,000.
