Bitcoin Resistance and Support Levels

Bitcoin continues the steady decline and trades close to daily lows at $8,555 as the number one crypto testing the 50-day moving average support. BTC technical picture is bearish now as the price trades below the 200 and 100 day moving average. On the downside, immediate support for bitcoin stands $8,564 the daily low before a test of the 50-day moving average at $8,553.78; A break below that level could drive the Bitcoin price down to $7,746 the support from September an October.

On the upside bitcoin first resistance now stands at $8,644 daily high and then at $9060 mark where the support line has now turned into resistance. The 200-day moving average at $9,290 is the next hurdle to the upside.

Bulls may initiate long positions if bitcoin breaks above the 9,000 mark; the take profit target must be set at 9,290, the 200-day moving average resistance.
