Bitcoin Price Approaches Key Resistance

Bitcoin price remained in a negative zone below the $43,000 pivot level. BTC even broke the $42,000 support level and settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average.

A low was formed near $41,288 and the price is now correcting higher. There was a move above the $42,000 resistance zone. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $43,800 swing high to $41,288 low.

The main resistance is now forming near the $42,800 level. There is also a crucial bearish trend line forming with resistance near $42,780 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. An upside break above the trend line resistance could start a steady increase above $43,000.
