Bitcoin is slowly rising and trading above the $6,750 level against the US Dollar. BTC price must claim the $7,000 resistance to start a strong rally in the near term. Bitcoin is trading in a crucial range below the $7,000 resistance area against the US Dollar. Yesterday\u2019s discussed double top pattern is still active with resistance near $7,000 and support at $6,400. There was a break above a short term contracting triangle with resistance near $6,680 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair (data feed from Kraken). The pair soon start a strong rally above $7,000 or it might dive towards the $6,000 level. Bitcoin Approaching Next Key Break After forming a support base near $6,500, bitcoin started a steady increase against the US Dollar. BTC price remained well bid and climbed above the $6,650 resistance area plus the 100 hourly simple moving average. The bulls remained in action and protected a strong bearish reaction below the $6,500 support area. Recently, there was a break above a short term contracting triangle with resistance near $6,680 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair. It opened the doors for more upsides above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $6,981 high to $6,459 low. Bitcoin price even climbed above the $6,800 resistance area. The price is currently struggling near the $6,850 level. It seems like the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $6,981 high to $6,459 low is acting as a major hurdle for the bulls. More importantly, yesterday\u2019s discussed double top pattern is still active with resistance near $7,000 and support at $6,400. If there is a clear break above the $6,850 and $7,000 resistance levels, the price could start a strong rally. The next major resistance is near the $7,500 and $7,650 levels. Bearish Scenario If bitcoin fails to continue above the $6,850 and $7,000 resistance levels, it could start a fresh decline. The main support on the downside is near the $6,500 and $6,400 levels. A successful break and follow through below the $6,400 support might validate the double top pattern and the price is likely to slide towards the $6,000 support.
