Earlier today, Bitcoin price managed to rise by over $2,000 as it bounced from $32,800 to reach a daily high of around $34,900, according to BItstamp. However, as of writing these lines, BTC failed to hold and retraced down below the crucial support turned resistance level of $34,000.

As of writing these lines, Bitcoin had failed to close the 4-hour candle above the resistance at a short term bearish .5 Fib Retracement of $34,450. As of now, it struggles to maintain the critical area of $34K.

Looking at the bigger picture, Bitcoin recovered nicely over the past 24 hours, after another retest of the $30K – $31K support area. As mentioned here yesterday, the latter is the lower angle of a bearish triangle. On the longer scale, if Bitcoin losses the crucial support around the $30K range, then we can expect a retest of lower price areas – $26K and even $24K.

From the bullish side, Bitcoin would need to break $34,450 in order to aim for the major resistance at the upper angle of the bearish triangle, as can be seen on the Daily chart below.

Key Resistance Levels: $34,000, $34,450, $35,00, $35,500 – $35,800, $37,900.

On the other side, the first level of support lies at $33,100 (yesterday’s low). This is followed by $32,500 (long term .5 Fib), $32,000, $31,000, and $30,760 (short term .786 Fib, and yesterday’s low).
