Attempts by the bulls to regain control have so far failed as price struggles to hold above the lower band of the Bollinger bands. The decline in the RSI below 50 and the bearish cross of the daily MACD suggests that the bears are gaining the upper hand, a signal that the price of Bitcoin may take further losses.
Currently, the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the decline from $ 52,944 to $ 42,830 provides support at $ 45,218. If the price breaks below that level, the next stop could be around $ 44,500. Below that anchor point, the downside target for bears will be the September 7 low, near $ 42,800.
On the upside, the bulls have a difficult task to turn the resistance zone at the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level ($ 46,694) into support. Exceeding this level would allow buyers to aim for the 50% Fib level ($ 47,888).
The next area of resistance is at the midline of the Bollinger Bands currently at $ 48,814, with the next supply wall likely at the psychological level of $ 50,000.
From there, BTC / USD could resume its uptrend and aim for new highs above $ 52,000.
