Bitcoin Settles Below $50K, What Could Initiate A Fresh Rally

Bitcoin declined heavily and it even spiked towards $40K against the US Dollar. BTC is recovering, but it must clear $50K for a steady increase in the near term.

Bitcoin is attempting a recovery wave above the $47,000 and $47,500 levels.
The price is now trading below $50,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
There is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $48,600 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
The pair could start a decent upward move if there is a clear break above $50,000.

A clear break above the $50,900 resistance zone could open the doors for more upsides. The next key resistance is near the $52,500 level, above which the price could rise steadily. The next stop for the bulls may possibly be near the $53,500 level.
More Losses In BTC?
