Bitcoin Price AnalysisAfter a short term downside correction, bitcoin price found support near the $5,200 level against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair formed a strong support base above $5,200 and later started a steady rise. There was a break above the $5,300 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price traded in a range for a few hours and recently broke the key $5,350 resistance to start a strong rally. The bulls came into action and pushed the price above the $5,400 and $5,500 resistance levels (as discussed in the previous analysis).
The price even broke the $5,600 level and traded to a new 2019 high at $5,641. Recently, it corrected gains below the $5,600 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $5,360 low to $5,641 high. However, the $5,500 level is currently acting as a decent support. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $5,360 low to $5,641 high is also near the $5,500 level.
If there is a downside extension, the next key support is near the $5,420 level. It also coincides with the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $5,360 low to $5,641 high. Moreover, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support at $5,360 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Therefore, dips from the current levels are likely to face a strong buying interest near $5,400 and $5,360.

The bulls are clearly in control and they could aim further gains above $5,600 and $5,650. The next stop could be near the $5,800 level.
