Bitcoin Price Recovers

The price even dipped below the $104,000 support level. Finally, it tested the $103,200 zone. A low was formed at $103,078 and the price is now recovering losses. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $110,411 swing high to the $103,078 low.
Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $105,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. Bitcoin is now trading near $105,800 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average.
On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $106,000 level. The first key resistance is near the $106,750 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $110,411 swing high to the $103,078 low. The next key resistance could be $107,500.
A close above the $107,500 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $108,000 resistance level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $110,000 level.
