The 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $37,915 high to $34,830 low is also near $37,200 to act as a major hurdle for the bulls. If there is a clear upside break above $37,000 and $37,200, the price could start a major increase.
The first major resistance is near the $38,500 level. The main resistance is still near the $40,000 zone. A clear break above the $40,000 level could set the pace for a larger increase.
