Bitcoin price is setting up for another dive below $8,600 against the US Dollar. BTC could even struggle to hold $8,500, considering the current bearish formation.<\/em><\/p>\n In morning, we discussed the chances of more losses and sell opportunities<\/a> for bitcoin below $9,000 against the US Dollar. BTC remained in a bearish zone and it failed to break the $8,850 resistance area.<\/p>\n Additionally, the price is now trading well below the $8,800 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It seems like the price failed to capitalize above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $9,150 high to $8,610 low.<\/p>\n More importantly, the price was rejected near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $9,150 high to $8,610 low. Bitcoin is now trading below the $8,750 level and is following a bearish path.<\/p>\n Recently, there was a break below a contracting triangle with support near $8,730 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair. Therefore, there is a risk of more downsides<\/a> below the $8,650 and $8,600 levels.<\/p>\n In the mentioned bearish case, there is a risk of a sharp breakdown even below the $8,500 support. On the upside, an initial resistance for the bulls is near the $8,820 level and the 100 hourly SMA.<\/p>\n However, the main resistance is near the $8,850 and $8,950 levels. Besides, today\u2019s key bearish trend line is active with resistance near $8,960 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair.<\/p>\n If there is a nice upward move above the $8,850 and $8,950 resistance levels, the price may perhaps start a fresh increase towards $9,200 and $9,500 in the coming days.<\/p>\nBitcoin Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
