Bitcoin Price Corrects Lower

Bitcoin price attempted another upside break above the $25,000 resistance zone. However, BTC bears were active near the $25,000 zone. A high was formed near $25,120 before the price started a fresh decline.

There was a clear move below the $24,800 and $24,500 levels. The price declined below the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $23,868 swing low to $25,118 high. Besides, there was a break below a major bullish trend line with support near $24,350 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

Bitcoin price is now trading below $24,400 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It is slowly approaching the last swing low near $23,868.

On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $24,200 level. The next major resistance is near the $24,600 zone and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A clear move above the $24,600 resistance might send the price towards the key $25,000 resistance zone.

A close above the $25,000 resistance is must for a steady increase. In the stated case, the price may perhaps rise towards the $26,200 level.
