Bitcoin Price Eyes Fresh Gains
Bitcoin held steady above $75,000, built a base, and then moved above $76,200 to start its recovery. It climbed past $76,500 and $76,600. The bulls pushed the price above the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the drop from the $78,100 high to the $74,209 low. However, bears are active near $77,000. A bearish trend line with resistance at $77,050 is also forming on the hourly chart. Bitcoin is now above $76,500 and the 100-hour moving average.

A close above that could push the price higher, possibly testing $79,000. Further gains might target $81,500, with the next major hurdle at $82,000.

If Bitcoin can’t break above $77,450, it might drop again. Immediate support is near $76,150, with the first major support at $75,650. The next support is around $76,000.
