Bitcoin price is up over 10% and there was a move above the $92,000 resistance. The price spiked above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $109,590 swing high to the $78,617 low.

However, BTC is now approaching a couple of major hurdles and it is still well below the 50-day simple moving average (blue). On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $94,200 level. The first major resistance is seen near the same triangle and $95,000.

There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance at $96,000 on the daily chart. A close above the $96,000 resistance might spark more upsides.

The next stop BTC price could be the $97,750 level and the 50-day simple moving average (blue). It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $109,590 swing high to the $78,617 low, above which the price could attempt to clear the $100,000 level.

A daily close above the $100,000 resistance zone could set the pace for a move toward the next key resistance at $102,250. Any more gains might call for a test of $105,000 or even $108,000 in the coming days.

Another Drop In BTC?

Conversely, Bitcoin price might struggle to clear $95,000 or $96,000 and start another decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $91,500 level.

The first major support is near the $90,000 level. A downside break and close below the $90,000 support might spark more losses and the price could accelerate lower. In the stated case, Bitcoin could test the $85,500 support. The next key support could be $80,000, below which BTC might slide toward the $73,500 support.

Overall, Bitcoin is rising and showing positive signs above the $90,000 level. However, the bulls must be cautious as a break above the $96,000 resistance could only increase the chances of a steady increase.
