The price climbed back above the $6,000 pivot level and the $6,050 resistance level. Besides, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $6,701 high to $5,881 low.
However, the bitcoin price is currently facing hurdles near $6,220 and a major bearish trend line on the same chart. The main resistance zone is near the $6,290 level. It coincides with the previous support zone and now represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $6,701 high to $5,881 low.
If the bulls gain pace above the trend line resistance and the $6,290 area, there are chances of a strong rise in the coming sessions. The next major resistance is near the $6,500 zone.
If Bitcoin fails to correct above the trend line and the $6,290 barrier, it could resume its decline below the $6,150 level. A successful close below the $6,050 level may perhaps accelerate decline below $5,940. The next major support for the bulls is seen near the $5,880 and $5,820 levels.
