There was a positive close above the $5,400 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The price extended gains above the $5,450 level recently and traded to a new weekly high at $5,500. The current price action is very positive, signaling more gains above $5,550 and $5,600.
An immediate support is at $5,470, and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $5,372 low to $5,500 high. However, the main support is near the $5,420 level. An intermediate support is at $5,435, and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent move from the $5,372 low to $5,500 high. Besides, yesterday’s two bullish trend lines are intact with support near $5,410 and $5,380 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Therefore, if there is a downside correction, the price is likely to find bids near $5,430 or $5,400.
On the upside, a clear break above the $5,550 and $5,520 levels is likely to push the price towards the $5,600 level. The next key resistance is at $5,640, above which the price may test the $5,700 barrier.
