Bitcoin Price Analysis

After a couple of swing moves, bitcoin price finally broke to the upside from the $7,909 swing low. BTC price climbed above many important hurdles, including $8,200, $8,350 and $8,500.

Looking at the 2-hours chart, bitcoin clearly gained a strong bullish momentum after it settled above the $8,350 level and the 50 simple moving average (2-hours, purple). The bulls took complete control and pushed the price to a new multi-month high above $8,850.

The price traded close to the $7,950 level and a swing high was formed at $8,946. At the moment, the price is consolidating gains above the $8,700 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from $7,909 to $8,946.

If there is a downside break below the $8,700 level, the price could start a bearish correction. The next support is near the $8,430 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from $7,909 to $8,946.

However, the main support is near the $8,350 level, which acted as a crucial barrier before the recent rise. More importantly, the price is now well above the key $8,350 level and bullish trend line on the same chart.

On the upside, the price may soon retest the $8,946 swing high. A clear break above $8,946 is likely to open the doors for more gains above the $9,000 and $9,080 levels. The next important resistance for the bulls is near the $9,200 level.

Overall, bitcoin price is placed nicely above the $8,700 and $8,430 support levels, and there are high possibilities of an upside break above $9,000 and $9,080.
