Looking at the 30-minute chart of BTC/USD, the pair started a steady downward move from the $4,135 high and traded below the $4,000 support. Later, sellers pushed the price below the $3,950 support and the 25 simple moving average (30-minute).
A multi month low was formed near $3,680 and later the price recovered sharply. It traded above the $3,800 resistance and the 25 simple moving average (30-minute).
Moreover, there was a break above a declining channel with resistance at $3,825 on the same chart. Buyers pushed the price towards the $3,900 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,135 high to $3,687 low.
The current price action is positive as long as the price is above the $3,800 level and the 25 SMA. On the upside, the main hurdle for buyers is near the $3,950-4,000 zone. It also coincides with the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $4,135 high to $3,687 low.
A convincing break above the $4,000 barrier is must for buyers to take control in the near term. If not, there is a risk of a fresh decline below $3,800 and $3,700 in the near term.
Overall, bitcoin rebounded nicely after trading to a new 2018 low at $3,687, but BTC must surpass the $4,000 barrier for steady gains. Similarly, Ethereum and ripple price also declined sharply, bounced back, and they both are now facing important hurdles.
