A successful break above the $34,000 resistance level could open the doors for a larger increase in the coming sessions. The next major resistance sits at $35,400, followed by $36,200.
Fresh Dip in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to clear the $34,000 resistance zone, there is a risk of a fresh decline. An initial support is near the $33,000 level. The next major support is near the $32,200 level.
Any more losses could lead the price towards the channel lower trend line at $31,500. If the price fails to stay inside the channel, it could easily dive towards the $30,000 support zone.
