Bitcoin chart analysis
The price of Bitcoin retreated to the $66,600 support level on Thursday, October 17. After a short consolidation in that zone and the support of the EMA 50 moving average, we started a recovery above the $67,000 level. The price continued to rise up to the $68335 level. We encounter minor resistance at this level and pull back to the $67,900 level. Bitcoin is still very bullish, and we expect to return to the bullish side soon.
Potential higher targets are $68500 and $69000 levels. For a bearish option, we need a stronger bearish impulse below the $67500 level. Down there, we would test the daily open level. Then, we need a break below to form a new daily low and confirm the move to the bearish side. Potential lower targets are the $67,000 and $66,500 levels.
