Bitcoin correction from two-month highs continues today and now we need to see how far this correction will go. The technical outlook is still positive for bitcoin despite the recent correction.
Let’s see the critical levels to the downside; initial support will be met at $8,575 daily low and the $8,500 psychological mark. Below that level the next support stands at $8,107 the low from January 14th. The next critical level is the 100-day moving average at $7,957 which if breached might cancel the recent bullish trend.
On the upside first resistance stands at $8,852 the daily top. While the high from yesterday’s session at 8,908 is the next hurdle. A break above will attract fresh bids and an attempt to 200-day moving average at $9,073 will be possible.
