Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $13,204 high to $9,087 swing low is near the $11,145 level to act as a strong resistance.
If there is an upside break above the $11,000 and $11,145 levels, the price could start a solid rise in the near term. The next key resistance could be $12,000 or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $13,204 high to $9,087 swing low.
Conversely, if the price fails to climb above the $11,000 and $11,145 resistance levels, there could be a fresh decline. An immediate support is near the $10,000 level and the 21 simple moving average (4-hours). If there is a daily close below $10,000, bitcoin price could drop back towards $9,000.

The main resistance could be near $250.00 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $318.29 high to $191.38 low. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $270.00 on the same chart.
Therefore, upsides are likely to remain capped by $240.00 or $250.00 level in the near term. On the downside, an immediate support is near the $210.00 level, below which the price might revisit the $191.38 swing low.

The next key resistance is near the $0.3460 level plus the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.4075 high to $0.2837 low.
Therefore, the bulls may struggle to push the price above the $0.3400 and $0.3500 resistance levels. If there is a convincing break above $0.3500, the price could climb towards the $0.3780 resistance level.
On the downside, an immediate support is near the $0.3120 level. If the price breaks down below $0.3120 and $0.3000, there could be heavy losses below $0.3000.

Therefore, if the price fails to break the $4.300 and $4.400 resistance levels, there could be a fresh decline in the near term. The key supports on the downside are near the $3.650 and $3.400 levels.
Conversely, if there is an upside break above $4.650, the price could accelerate above the $5.000 and $5.200 levels.

Overall, bitcoin price is currently correcting higher and is showing positive signs above the $10,000 level.
