Bitcoin Price Watch: BTC/USD Targets New Weekly High

Story by: AAYUSH JINDAL

After a brief struggle to break $6,540, buyers finally gained momentum to push bitcoin price higher against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair traded higher and broke the $6,550 and $6,580 resistance levels. There was even a close above the $6,620 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Furthermore, the price traded above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $6,839 high to $6,318 low.

More importantly, yesterday’s highlighted important bearish trend line was breached with resistance at $6,495 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. The pair even broke the $6,720 resistance and is currently placed nicely in a bullish zone. It seems like the price could settle above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $6,839 high to $6,318 low. The next resistance for buyers is near the $6,840 swing high. Above this, the price could target a new weekly higher towards the $6,900 level.

Looking at the chart, bitcoin price is gaining traction above the $6,700 level. If buyers remain in action, the price could continue to move higher towards the $6,840 level. On the downside, dips towards $6,640 and $6,600 are likely to find a strong buying interest in the near term.
