Bitcoin price started a strong increase above the $38,500 resistance zone. The price remained stable above the $38,500 level and traded in a positive zone.

There was a clear move above the $40,000 level and the 55 simple moving average (4 hours). The price even rallied above the $42,000 resistance zone. However, the price seems to be struggling near the $45,000 zone. A high was formed near $45,000 and the price is now consolidating gains.

The price traded below $44,000 but it is still above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $37,612 swing low to the $45,000 high. The price is now trading above $42,000 and the 55 simple moving average (4 hours).

Immediate resistance on the upside is near the $44,500 level. The first major resistance is near the $45,000 level, above which the price could rise toward the $46,500 zone.

Any more gains might send the price toward the $48,000 zone. If there is no upside break, the price might start a downside correction below $43,200.

The next key support is near the $42,200 level. There is also a major bullish trend line forming with support near $42,050 on the 4-hour chart of the BTC/USD pair. Any more losses might call for a move toward the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $37,612 swing low to the $45,000 high at $41,300.
