Bitcoin Price AnalysisAfter setting a new 2019 high near $9,472, bitcoin price started a downside correction against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair broke the $9,300 and $9,200 support levels to start the recent correction. It even spiked below the $9,000 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, downsides were limited and the price formed a swing low near the $8,951 level.
The price is currently climbing higher and is trading above $9,050 plus the 100 hourly simple moving average. There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $9,472 high to $8,951 low. Moreover, there was a break above a declining channel with resistance at $9,120 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
The pair is currently testing the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $9,472 high to $8,951 low. If there is an upside break above the $9,220 level, the price could continue to rise in the near term. The next immediate resistance is near $9,275. It is near the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $9,472 high to $8,951 low.
Therefore, a successful close above $9,275 might push the price towards the last swing high at $9,472. On the downside, an initial support is near the $9,070 level and the 100 hourly SMA. The main supports are $9,000 and $8,950, below which the price may perhaps extend its downside correction.
Looking at the chart, bitcoin price successfully held the $9,000 support area despite a couple of spikes. As long as the price is holding the $9,000 support and the $8,950 pivot, it could climb higher towards $9,400 and $9,500. Conversely, a downside break below $8,950 could put pressure on the bulls. The next key support is near the $8,740 level.
