Bitcoin Rallies Over 12%, Why This Could Be Major Trend Change

1 мар. 2022 г.

BTC was able to start a major increase after it cleared the $38,800 resistance zone yesterday afternoon. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $38,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USDT pair. It opened the doors for a sharp increase above the $40,000 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average.

The price rallied over 12% and there was a clear move above the $42,000 resistance zone. It even cleared the $43,000 level and traded as high as $44,192.

Bitcoin is now consolidating. On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $44,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $44,200 level. The main resistance is now near the $44,500 level. A clear move above the $44,500 resistance could send the price further higher. In the stated case, it could even attempt a clear move above $45,000.

If bitcoin fails to clear the $44,200 resistance zone, it could start a downside correction. An immediate support on the downside is near the $43,000 zone. The next major support is seen near the $42,500 level. If there is a downside break below the $42,500 support, the price might gain bearish momentum towards $40,500.

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now losing pace in the bullish zone.

Major Support Levels – $43,000, followed by $42,500.
