  • The pair must clear the $52,000 resistance zone in order to maintain its bullish trend.Bitcoin Price HurdlesAfter a clear break above $48,000, bitcoin continues to rally above $49,000.
  • Despite forming a support base above the $48,000 level, BTC is still well below the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price is trading better than the 23.6% Fib retracement level from the $58,400 swing high to $45,000 swing low.

A major bearish trend line with resistance near $48,500 was also broken on the hourly chart of the Bitcoin/USD pair. The bitcoin price is now consolidating above the $50,000 level.

Although there is very little resistance above the $51,500 level, $17,000 will be a major hurdle, as will the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $58,400 swing high to $45,000 swing low. More upsides are needed near the $52,000 and $51,600 resistance levels in order for the market to break above.

The next major resistance above $52,000 could be near $55,000. Could it be another dip in BTC? There was also a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $49,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
