An initial support is near the $58,250 level. It is close to the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $53,797 swing low to $59,623 high. On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $59,500 level. The next key resistance is near the $60,000 level. A clear close above the $60,000 level could open the doors for a larger increase towards $61,500 in the near term.

Fresh Dip in BTC?
