Important points
The past two sessions were mostly positive as bitcoin price succeeded in settling above the $6,320 support area. BTC/USD climbed higher above the $6,600 level and topped at $6,630.
The 30-minute chart of BTC/USD indicates that the price formed a short-term top at $6,630 and corrected lower. It declined, but the $6,300-6,320 support area prevented losses.
More importantly, a bullish trend line with current support at $6,320 acted as a decent buy zone. The price bounced back and moved above the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last slide from the $6,630 swing high to $6,300 low.
There was also a close above $6,450 and the 100 SMA (30-minute), opening the doors for more gains. At the moment, BTC price is attempting a close above a connecting bearish trend line with resistance at $6,475.
Should there be a close above the trend line and the $6,504 resistance, the price may perhaps accelerate gains in the near term. The next stop could be $6,552 and the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level of the last slide from the $6,630 swing high to $6,300 low.
Above $6,552, the price is likely to break the $6,630 high and test the 1.236 Fib extension level of the last slide from the $6,630 swing high to $6,300 low at $6,708. Above this, there is a crucial resistance waiting near the $6,830 and $6,880 levels.
If there is a dip from the current levels, the 100 SMA and the $6,380 level could act as supports. Below these, the trend line and the $6,320 support possibly will act as barriers for sellers.
Overall, traders might look for an upward move as long as bitcoin price is above the $6,300-6,320 support zone.
