If the price remains stable above $74,000, it could attempt a fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near the $74,800 level. The first key resistance is near the $75,200 level. A close above the $75,200 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $76,000 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $77,500 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $78,000.</p>
<p dir="auto">Downside Correction In BTC?</p>
<p dir="auto">If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $75,200 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $73,950 level. The first major support is near the $73,300 level.</p>
<p dir="auto">The next support is now near the $72,650 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $70,518 swing low to the $76,088 high.
