The first key resistance is near the $68,200 level. A close above the $68,200 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $69,500 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $70,000 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $70,500 and $71,200.</p>
<p dir="auto">Downside Continuation In BTC?</p>
<p dir="auto">If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $67,000 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $65,500 level. The first major support is near the $65,000 level or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $63,030 swing low to the $68,181 high.</p>
<p dir="auto">The next support is now near the $64,250 zone. Any more losses might send the price toward the $64,000 support in the near term. The main support now sits at $63,000, below which BTC might struggle to recover in the near term.</p>
