The pair is now testing the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $31,296 swing low to $40,971 high. If there is a downside break below the $34,000 and $33,500 support levels, the price is likely to accelerate lower.
The next major support is near the $31,250 level, below which the price may possibly test the $30,000 support level in the near term.
Upsides Limited in BTC?
If bitcoin remains stable above the $33,500 level, it could start a fresh increase. An initial resistance on the upside is near the $36,500 level.
The first major resistance is near the trend line and $38,000. The main resistance is now near $40,000. A close above $40,000 is must to start a steady increase in the near term. The next key barrier could be $45,000.
