Bitcoin price extended its decline and tested the $53,000 zone against the US Dollar. BTC is correcting higher, but it is facing a lot of hurdles near $55,000 and $56,000.

Bitcoin failed to recover above the $57,000 barrier and it extended its decline. BTC traded below the $54,000 support zone and it even declined below $53,200.

There was a spike below $53,000 and the price traded as low as $52,943. It is now correcting higher and trading above the $54,000 level. There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $59,040 swing high to $52,943 low.

If there is an upside break above the trend line resistance, it could correct higher towards the $55,500 resistance zone. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $59,040 swing high to $52,943 low is also near the $55,600 level.
