Holds Gains Bitcoin price remained stable above the $58,500 pivot
level. BTC formed a base and started a steady increase above the
$60,000 resistance zone. The price climbed above the $60,200 and
$60,500 resistance levels. The bulls were able to push the price
above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the
$61,800 swing high to the $59,805 low. The current price action is
positive and seems like the bulls could aim for more gains above
the $60,800 resistance zone. Bitcoin is now trading above $60,200
and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. The price is now
consolidating near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward
move from the $61,800 swing high to the $59,805 low. On the upside,
the price could face resistance near the $60,800 level. The first
key resistance is near the $61,800 level. A clear move above the
$61,800 resistance might send the price further higher in the
coming sessions. The next key resistance could be $62,000. A close
above the $62,000 resistance might spark more upsides. In the
stated case, the price could rise and test the $63,500 resistance.
Another Decline In BTC? If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $61,800
resistance zone, it could start a downside correction. Immediate
support on the downside is near the $60,200 level. The first major

Any more losses might send the price toward the $58,000 support
zone or even $57,500 in the near term. Technical indicators: Hourly
