A clear move above the $30,450 and $30,600 resistance levels could start a strong rally in the near term. The next key resistance could be near the $31,500 level, above which the price could rally to $32,500.
New drop in BTC?
If bitcoin fails to clear the $30,600 resistance zone, a new decline could start. An immediate support on the downside is near the $30,000 level. The first major support is near the $29,850 level and the trend line.
The trend line is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the up move from the $29,225 low to $30,500 high. A clear move below the trend line could send the price towards the $28,500 support.
