Bitcoin Price Extends Decline

Furthermore, the BTC/USD pair experienced a breakout above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $37,250 on the hourly chart. The pair then surged above the $37,750 resistance level. However, the bears once again became active near the $38,500 resistance.
The price reached a high point near $38,390 and is currently undergoing a correction. It retraced below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent wave, which ranged from the $36,720 swing low to the $38,390 high.
Bitcoin is currently trading above $37,500 and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the immediate resistance is around the $38,200 level, followed by a major resistance forming near $38,400. The main resistance is now at the $38,500 level. If the price manages to close above this resistance, it could potentially trigger a strong increase.
The next key resistance could be near $39,200, above which BTC could rise toward the $39,500 level. Any more gains might send BTC toward the $40,000 resistance.
Another Drop In BTC?
If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $38,400 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $37,600 level.
The next major support is $37,500 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $36,720 swing low to the $38,390 high. If there is a move below $37,500, there is a risk of more downsides. In the stated case, the price could drop toward the $36,720 support in the near term.
