Bitcoin price is facing a fresh increase in selling pressure below $8,200 against the US Dollar. BTC price could accelerate losses if it fails to stay above $7,800.<\/em><\/p>\n Recently, bitcoin made a few attempts to gain strength above the $8,300 resistance area<\/a> against the US Dollar. BTC price even spiked above the $8,350 level, but it failed to continue higher.<\/p>\n As a result, a swing high was formed near $8,323 and the price started a fresh decline. During the decline, there was a break below a couple of important supports near $8,100 and $8,200. Moreover, there was a break below a short term ascending channel with support near $8,240 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair.<\/p>\n Finally, bitcoin traded below the $8,100 support area and settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average. It is now trading below the $8,000 level and a low was formed near $7,932.<\/p>\n If there is an upside correction, an immediate resistance is near the $8,000 level. Additionally, the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $8,323 high to $7,932 low is also near the $8,020 level to act as a resistance.<\/p>\n If there is a decent recovery, the price could test the $8,100 resistance area (the previous support) and the 100 hourly SMA. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $8,323 high to $7,932 low is near $8,128.<\/p>\n Therefore, the price must climb back above $8,100 and $8,120 to start a fresh increase towards the $8,250 and $8,300 resistance levels. Conversely, if there is no upside break above $8,120, the price could continue to decline<\/a> in the near term.<\/p>\nBitcoin Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
