Bitcoin Price is Correcting Gains

It is approaching the $57,200 and $57,000 support levels. There is also a key rising channel forming with support near $57,200 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair.

The channel support is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $56,367 swing low to $59,919 swing high. If there is a downside break below the channel support, the price could decline towards the $55,000 support level. Any more losses might call for a move towards the $53,200 support.

Fresh Increase in BTC?

If bitcoin remains stable above the $57,000 support level, there are chances of a fresh increase in the near term. An initial resistance on the upside is near the $59,200 level.

The main resistance is still near the $60,000 level. A clear break above the $60,000 zone might open the doors for a strong increase. In the stated case, the price could rise towards the $62,000 level and to a new all-time high.
