The bulls were able to push the price above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $18,390 swing high to $16,260 low. It is now trading above the $17,000 level and the 50 simple moving average (4-hours, blue).

On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $17,350 level. The first major resistance is near the $17,580 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $18,390 swing high to $16,260 low.

A close above the $17,580 level might start a strong increase towards the $18,250 level. The next major resistance is near the $18,500 zone. Any more gains might send the price towards the $19,000 resistance zone, above which the price could start a major increase in the coming days. In the stated case, the price could rise towards the $20,000 level.

Downside Correction?

If not, there might be a downside correction from $17,350 or $17,580. On the downside, the first major support is near the $17,100 level. The next key support sits near the $16,900 level and the 50 simple moving average (4-hours, blue).

A clear move below the $16,900 support could spark a bearish move. The next major support is near the $16,700 support zone. Any more losses may perhaps send the price towards $16,250. 

Overall, bitcoin price is gaining pace above the $17,000 resistance zone. If there is a close above the $17,580 level, BTC may perhaps rise towards the $18,000 level. Conversely, the price might start another drop and revisit the $16,700 support zone.
