Bitcoin price is facing an increase in selling pressure against the US Dollar. BTC might correct higher, but it is likely to fail near the $8,000 or $8,200 resistance levels.<\/em><\/p>\n There was a steady decline<\/a> in bitcoin price below the $8,500 and $8,400 support levels against the US Dollar. The BTC\/USD pair even broke the key $8,000 support level to enter a bearish zone. Moreover, there was a close below the $8,000 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. Finally, there was a drop below the $7,600 support level and the price traded to a new weekly low at $7,441.<\/p>\n Recently, bitcoin price started an upside correction above the $7,600 level. Besides, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $8,578 high to $7,441 low. On the upside, there are many resistances near the $7,900, $8,000 and $8,200 levels. There are also two major bearish trend lines forming with resistance near $7,950 and $8,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair. An intermediate resistance is near $8,000. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $8,578 high to $7,441 low.<\/p>\n Therefore, a successful break above the $8,000 level might push the price towards the $8,200 resistance. If there are more upsides<\/a>, the price could recover towards the $8,400 level or the 100 hourly SMA. Conversely, if bitcoin price fails to move above $8,000, it could decline once again. An initial support is near the $7,600 level. If the bulls fail to hold $7,600, there could be a sharp decline towards the $7,400 support area.<\/p>\nBitcoin Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
