Bitcoin Prices Surge Past $106,000

Bitcoin has kicked off a new upward trend, surpassing the $106,000 mark. Currently, BTC is climbing and seems to be eyeing a push towards $110,000.

• Bitcoin’s recent ascent has started from the $102,000 support level.
• The price is now consistently trading above $105,500 and is above the simple moving average for the last 100 hours.
• The hourly chart for the BTC/USD pair, based on Kraken data, shows a bullish trend line with support at $105,800.
• If the price breaks through the $107,000 resistance, the pair could gain more bullish momentum.

Bitcoin has begun its latest increase from the support level of $102,000. It has managed to overcome the resistance at $104,200, with bulls now pushing prices above $105,000.

There was a notable breakout above the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the downward movement stretching from the swing high of $107,042 to a low of $102,100. This opens the door for movement past the $106,000 resistance level.

The current price trend is encouraging, especially since it has surpassed the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level based on the downward movement from $107,042 to $102,100. The hourly chart also indicates a bullish trend line with support around $105,800.

Bitcoin is trading above $105,500, with a simple moving average over the previous 100 hours. Resistance is closely positioned near $107,000, with key levels at $107,200 and $107,500. If the price breaks above $107,500, it could lead to even higher levels, potentially testing resistance around $108,800. Surpassing that could drive the price to a new record high at $110,000.

Could Bitcoin See Another Drop?

However, if Bitcoin struggles to exceed the $107,000 resistance, it might enter into a correction phase. Immediate support is around $105,800, with major support at $105,000.

Further support exists near the $104,200 level. Any losses beyond this could see the price drop to $103,500 in the near term. The key support area is $102,500; falling below this could trigger a bearish momentum.
