The main resistance could be near the $108,000 zone. A close above the $108,000 resistance might spark more upsides. In the stated case, the price could attempt a move toward the $108,800 level.

More Losses In BTC?

If the bulls fail to start a fresh increase above $105,000, Bitcoin price could continue to move down. Immediate support is near the 50-day simple moving average (blue), the trend line, and $102,000.

A downside break and close below the $102,000 support might spark more losses and send the price further lower. In the stated case, Bitcoin could test the $100,000 support. The next key support could be $93,200. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $74,501 swing low to the $111,880 high.

If the bulls fail to protect the $93,200 zone, the price could start a major decline. In the stated case, the price could test the $90,500 support. Any more losses might call for the test of the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $74,501 swing low to the $111,880 high at $88,750.

Overall, Bitcoin is again moving lower below the $105,000 level. If BTC dips further, there could be a sharp decline below the $100,000 support level.
