TA: Why Bitcoin Breaking This Resistance Could Spark a Significant Surge

Bitcoin price is trading in a bullish zone above $57,600 against the US Dollar. BTC is likely to accelerate higher once it clears the $59,800 and $60,000 resistance levels.

  • Bitcoin is trading in a positive zone, but it is facing hurdles near $60,000.
  • The price is now well above the $58,000 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
  • There is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $57,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair (data feed from Kraken).
  • The pair could start a sharp rally if it clears the $59,800 and $60,000 resistance levels.

Bitcoin Price is Showing Positive Signs

Bitcoin mostly traded in a positive zone above the $57,000 pivot level. BTC extended its upward move above the $59,500 resistance level and it settled nicely above the 100 hourly simple moving average.

However, the bulls faced a strong resistance near the $59,800 and $60,000 resistance levels. A high was formed near $59,829 before there was a downside correction. The price declined below the $59,000 and $58,000 levels.

There was also a spike below the $57,500 level, but the bulls protected the 100 hourly simple moving average. A low is formed near the $56,800 level and the price is now back above $58,000. The bulls pushed bitcoin above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $59,829 high to $56,800 low.

It is currently trading well above the $58,000 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support near $57,800 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.

Bitcoin seems to be consolidating just above the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $59,829 high to $56,800 low. The key hurdle is near the $59,800 and $60,000 levels. A successful close above the $60,000 level will most likely pump the price towards the $62,000 level in the coming sessions.

Dips Supported in BTC?

If bitcoin fails to climb above $59,800 and $60,000, there could be a downside correction. The first major support on the downside is near the $58,400 level.

The next major support is near the $58,000 level, the 100 hourly SMA, and the trend line. If there is a downside break below the trend line, the price could revisit $56,800.

Technical indicators:

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now gaining momentum in the bullish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is well above the 50 level.

Major Support Levels – $58,500, followed by $58,000.

Major Resistance Levels – $59,800, $60,000 and $60,800.

How Social Platform Chingari is Using Web 3.0 to Transform the Traditional Way We Use Social Media

The world is changing. This isn’t news to anyone, but sometimes it is nice to realize that—contrary to news headlines—not all the change is bad.  In fact, the last decade has seen so much innovation and so many improvements to technology that even 2015 seems like a different world.  Internet speeds, connecting with anyone globally (for free), and our ability to reach large groups of people without a middleman is nothing short of revolutionary. When it comes to technology evolution, this often happens with different iterations.  Once a system is mature, there’s a better idea of what we would like to change and improve.  We go back to the drawing board, target our creative minds at the issues, and create a new version that has evolved to better meet our needs.  The Internet has followed this model since its inception, evolving through three distinct stages.  We are only at the cusp of the third stage, called Web 3.0, with technologies such as blockchain and ...

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

Meta's head of crypto to step down at end of year

In explaining his decision to leave Meta, David Marcus said that his entrepreneurial DNA had been nudging him “for too many mornings in a row to continue ignoring.” David Marcus, the head of Meta’s cryptocurrency and fintech unit Novi, will step down from his role by the end of 2021. Taking over from Marcus will be Stephane Kasriel, the former CEO of Upwork who has been at Meta, formerly known as Facebook, since August 2020. Marcus announced the decision via a Dec. 1 tweet , noting that he had made the “difficult decision” to leave the firm by the end of this year. The exec didn’t go into detail about what his next move would be, but hinted that it may be something “new and exciting” that he builds himself: “While there’s still so much to do right on the heels of launching Novi — and I remain as passionate as ever about the need for change in our payments and financial systems — my entrepreneurial DNA has been nudging me for too many mornings in a row to continue ignoring it.” Ma...
