The price began trading in a range above $43,000, but it is still significantly lower than $45,000 and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

BTC/USD

The first big stumbling block is located near the $43,830 mark. It is near the crucial drop’s 23.6 percent Fib retracement level from the swing high of $46,845 to the low of $42,905. The next resistance level may be near $44,275, where the price may struggle. If the price rises above $44,275, it may test the $44,875 barrier. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the crucial drop from the $46,845 swing high to the $42,905 low.

To develop bullish momentum, Bitcoin needs to break over the $44,875 and $45,000 resistance levels. The price may move towards the $46,000 resistance zone in the scenario above. An intermediate resistance level could be seen at about $45,500.

More Bitcoin Losses?

If Bitcoin fails to break through the $44,875 resistance level, it may continue to fall. On the downside, there is immediate support near $43,000.

The next significant support is indicated near the $42,900 level or the latest low. A fall below the $42,900 support level might hasten losses. In the scenario above, the price could fall to the $42,200 support level in the near term. The next significant financial assistance could be $42,000. Good luck!
