On the downside, there are many supports near the $8,600 and $8,700 levels.<\/p>\n Furthermore, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $8,500 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair. The main support is near the $8,460 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $8,184 low to $8,741 high.
