Bitcoin Recovers from $6,700 Low, Retests $7,000 Resistance

Bitcoin made a sharp drop after failing to jump over the hurdles at $7,200 and $7,400. BTC is recovering after the recent drop to $6,774 low.

There were indications that a further decline to the next support of $6,400 is likely. Luckily, the bulls survived the bearish run. What happened in the last two days was that the $6,700 support was holding while the crypto was consolidating between $6,700 and $6,900.

This is to confirm the earlier notion that the biggest crypto has only been trading between $6,600 and $7,400 since April 6. After consolidation, we should expect two happenings. Firstly, we may likely see BTC testing the $6,600 low, then resuming the upward move to revisit the $7,000 resistance. Alternatively, the market will rebound, so that price will break through the resistances of $7,200 and $7,400. Neither of these levels has been broken since April 6.
