Bitcoin continues to impress with its upward climb. The number one cryptocurrency has already climbed well past the $8,000 psychological level and looks set to challenge the $8,500 resistance level within the week.
As soon as the coin started rising again the markets and crypto forums were flush with predictions that Bitcoin will hit $20,000 by the end of the year. We had a déjà vu feeling all over again. It was around the same time in July-August last year when the cryptocurrency started its meteoric rise and more than tripled in value from $6,200 to $19,600 before falling.
We don’t think such predictions are useful for the purpose of serious technical analysis. Reaching $20,000 by the end of the year is still a far cry. However Bitcoin does appear to be on an upward trajectory and it could hit the $9,000 level soon.
As the $8,000 resistance level has broken for the first time since May, the upside may be extended towards $8,535, which was the high on May 20th. It will be difficult for Bitcoin to stay over this level as a fresh selling interest may appear for profit-taking on short-term speculative positions.
If the coin were to fall on the other hand, there will be support 30.0% Fibo retracement at $8,162 with further support at $7,940. The bulls will control the situation for the time being, at least as long as the price stays above this level. If the support is broken however, the downside correction may be extended towards $7,700 and $7,550.
