This area also coincides with the 38.2% Fib level when you draw from the low of January 3 to the high of January 8. There is actually a confluence of support around this price. Bitcoin sellers will also need to clear support around the $7,600 psychological handle. This is where the cryptocurrency previously made highs on December 7 and December 23.
