Bitcoin price made another attempt to clear the $51,800 resistance zone. BTC spiked towards the $52,000 zone, where the bears took a stand. It seems like there is a double top pattern forming near $52,000.
A high was formed near $52,100 and the price started a fresh decline. There was a break below the $51,200 and $50,500 support levels. There was also a break below a key bullish trend line with support near $51,200 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USDT pair.
Then BTC has plummeted from a high of $52,100 to a low of $48,700, with a decline of 6.5% within ten hours. From the hourly chart above, Bitcoin is now rebounding slightly, trading below $49,500 and well below the 100 hourly simple moving average.
A downside break below the $49,000 support zone could push the price towards the $48,800 support. Any more losses may possibly push the price towards the $47,500 support zone.
If bitcoin manages to breach the $49,500 level, it could start a increase. An immediate resistance on the upside is near the $50,000 level. The next key resistance could be $50,800 and the 100 hourly SMA. A clear move above the $50,800 resistance zone could start a fresh increase.
