Resistance Levels: $6,600, $6,800, $7,000

Support Levels: $3,800, $3,600, $3,400

The daily chart has revealed that BTC/USD is back to trading above $5,000 following a bearish correction to levels under $4,500.

More so, Bitcoin’s price is currently hovering 4.35% higher on the day at $5,456 around the lower boundary of the Bollinger bands. So, in spite of the upward movement, BTC/USD is still facing a bearish trend and high volatility.

At the time of writing, the BTC price is trading in a range of $4,889 to $5,668. It has created a short-term double-bottom which suggests that the price may soon break out from this range and head above $6,000. On a bullish note, looking at the technical indicator stochastic RSI, the signal lines have broken out from a descending resistance line which suggests that the Bitcoin price will once again move towards $5,500, which is the closest resistance level.

However, a strong bullish spike may take the price to $6,600, $6,800 and $7,000 resistance levels. Moreover, if the market makes a quick turn to the south, the BTC/USD price may likely drop to $4,000 and should this support fails to contain the sell-off, traders may see a further roll back to $3,800, $3,600 and critically $3,400. The stochastic RSI suggests an upward movement for the coin as the signal lines move towards the north.

BTC price hovers around $5,339 and may take time to persistently trade above $6,000. The upward movement may be able to near the $6,300 and $6,500 resistance levels if the bulls regroup.

However, on the downside, immediate support is around the $4,800 level while the main support is at the $4,600 level. The price may likely fall below $4,400 if the bears step back into the market, a further movement could test the critical support levels at $4,200 and $4,000 respectively. Technically, Bitcoin is still moving in sideways while the RSI (14) moves in the same direction, indicating an indecisive in the market movement.
