Bitcoin price is currently consolidating losses above $3,340 against the US Dollar. BTC could correct a few points, but upsides are likely to remain capped near $3,400.<\/em><\/p>\n There was a short-term support<\/a> formed near the $3,345 level in bitcoin price against the US Dollar. The BTC\/USD pair corrected a few points and traded above the $3,360 and $3,370 levels. There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,444 high to $3,337 low. The price even spiked above the $3,375 resistance, but it failed to hold gains. Sellers defended gains above the $3,380 and $3,400 levels. As a result there was a fresh dip and the price retested the $3,345 support.<\/p>\n It is currently correcting higher towards the $3,375 and $3,380 resistances. There is also a major bearish trend line formed with resistance at $3,375 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,444 high to $3,337 low is also near $3,391.
