Bitcoin price started a major downside correction below $5,450 against the US Dollar. BTC may test the key $5,340-5,350 support zone before it could start a fresh increase.<\/em><\/p>\n After a strong upward move<\/a>, bitcoin price started a downside correction from the $5,640 swing high against the US Dollar. The BTC\/USD pair traded below the $5,600 and $5,520 levels to move into a short term bearish zone. The pair even broke the $5,480 support and settled below the key $5,450 support level. Recently, there was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $5,199 low to $5,644 high.<\/p>\n The price spiked below the $5,400 support and traded close to the $5,370 level. Besides, the price traded close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $5,199 low to $5,644 high. At the moment, the price is consolidating above the $5,400 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is also a key bullish trend line formed with support at $5,405 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair. Clearly, the price is trading near a strong support<\/a> at $5,400. If there is a downside break below $5,400 and the 100 hourly SMA, the price could extend losses.<\/p>\n The next key support area is near $5,350-5,340 (the previous major resistance). The bulls are likely to defend the $5,340 support area in the near term. On the upside, the price must break the $5,450 resistance to start a decent rebound. However, the main resistance is at $5,500, above which the price could move back towards the $5,640 level.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nBitcoin Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
