Bitcoin Gold Price Upside Hurdle
After a nasty upside ride, we saw a decent decline in bitcoin gold price towards $180 against the US Dollar. Later, the price started an upside correction, but failed to move above the $270-280 levels. It seems like the price failed to settle above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $478 high to $183 low. Moreover, yesterday’s highlighted connecting bearish trend line with current resistance at $225 on the hourly chart of BTG/USD acted as a major hurdle.
The same trend line is still intact and preventing gains above $220-230. The worst thing is the fact that the price is now below the 100 hourly simple moving average and juts holding $200. It won’t be easy for buyers to push the price above $230. Above $230, the next major hurdle is near $270. Only a close above $270 would call for a test of the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $478 high to $183 low at $330.
On the downside, the $200 handle and the $180 swing low are decent support levels for the current decline.
