Bitcoin price must stay above $17,500 for upside continuation in the near term

Bitcoin price once rallied to $ 18,500 before correcting lower in the $ 17,795 area. With this momentum, it is expected that Bitcoin sustains above $ 17,500 to continue its bullish momentum in the near term.

Yesterday, Bitcoin rallied above the $ 17,500 resistance. BTC has risen over 10%, and it even broke the $ 18,000 level. Prices traded to a new multi-month high of nearly $ 18,500 before starting to plunge.

Even so, Bitcoin fell by over $ 1,000, and it broke the $ 17,800 support level. There was also a spike below the $ 17,500 support but no close below it. Recent low volatility is formed near $ 17,299, and a high is formed near $ 18,107.

Prices are currently consolidating gains below $ 18,000. There is also a major contract triangle forming with resistance near $ 18,020 on the BTC / USD pair’s hourly chart. The pair tests the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from a low of $ 17,299 to a high of $ 18.107.

The first major support appears to be forming near $ 17,700 and the lower trendline of a triangle. It’s close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $ 17,299 low to the $ 18.107 high.

If there is a breakdown below the triangle support, the price might test the $ 17,500 support level. A suitable close below the $ 17,500 support could start a sharp drop in the coming days.

If Bitcoin clears the triangle resistance and then the high of $ 18.107, it could rebound. The immediate next hurdle is near $ 18,200.

A proper move above $ 18,200 could open the door for a bigger rally. The next major resistance levels are near $ 18,500 and $ 18,880.

After BTC suddenly dropped from around $18,500 to $17,200, some traders began to question whether a local top had formed but there are multiple factors that suggest the bull run is still intact. Following the initial pullback, BTC continuously showed extreme volatility, demonstrating market uncertainty.
