Bitcoin Struggles below $66,000 Resistance, Targets the $68,000 High

Bitcoin (BTC) price has risen above the $64,000 support and resumed its upward movement. Today, the market has risen to $65,737 at the time of writing.

The upside move is being hindered by sellers around resistance at $66,000. If the buyers overcome the initial resistance at $66,000, the BTC price will retest the higher resistance at $68,000. It should be noted that buyers retested the overhead resistance twice on November 9 and 10. The bulls were unable to keep the BTC price above this resistance. The bulls have a difficult task ahead if they break above the $66,000 and $68,000 resistances. Bitcoin will rally above the psychological price level of $70,000 if the buyers are successful above the resistances.

What is the next direction for BTC?

On the 4-hour chart, BTC price is breaking out above the moving averages. However, the uptrend is in danger of failing at the resistance zone at $66,000. However, if the BTC price falls and drops below the support at $63,000, the Fibonacci tool analysis could kick in. Meanwhile, the candlestick tested the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level on November 10. The retracement suggests that the BTC price will fall to the 1.272 Fibonacci Extension level or $61,353.
