There was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $6,514 low to the $6,861 high. Moreover, the bitcoin price is struggling to stay above the $6,650 support and a connecting bullish trend line on the same chart.

The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent upward move from the $6,514 low to the $6,861 high is near the $6,650 level to act as a decent support.

Any further losses may perhaps lead the price towards the main $6,420 support area. On the upside, the bulls are facing an uphill task near the $6,880 and $6,965 resistance levels.

If Bitcoin succeeds in gaining strength above the $6,880 and $6,965 resistance levels, there could be a decent increase. The next major resistance is near $7,000, above which the bulls are likely to aim a rally towards the $6,450 level.
