Bitcoin price is showing a few bearish signs below $7,280 against the US Dollar. BTC is likely to continue lower below $7,160 unless it climbs above $7,400.<\/em><\/p>\n Yesterday, we saw a downside break<\/a> in bitcoin price below the $7,400 support against the US Dollar. BTC price broke many supports near $7,320 and settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average.<\/p>\n Moreover, the bears were able to push the price below the $7,280 support area. Finally, the price traded below the $7,200 support and tested the $7,160 support zone.<\/p>\n A low was formed near $7,159 and the price is currently correcting higher. An immediate resistance is near the $7,240 and $7,250 levels. Besides, there is a major declining channel forming with resistance near $7,240 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair.<\/p>\n Above the channel resistance, the $7,280 level is a key resistance. Additionally, the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $7,664 high to $7,159 low.<\/p>\n If bitcoin manages to recover above $7,240 and $7,280, the price could climb towards the next major resistance near the $7,400 area. More importantly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $7,664 high to $7,159 low is also near the $7,410 level to stop the bulls.<\/p>\n If the bulls succeed in clearing the $7,400 resistance area, the price could surge towards $7,660 or $7,700. On the other hand, the price may perhaps continue to move down<\/a> below $7,200.<\/p>\n An immediate support is near $7,160, below which the price is likely to accelerate towards $7,040 or $7,000 in the near term. Any further losses might call for a test of the $6,600 area.<\/p>\nBitcoin Price Analysis<\/h2>\n
