Bitcoin Price Hits First Fibonacci Retracement Resistance; Will Downtrend Continue?

From the All-Time High of $68,789, the Bitcoin price tumbled around 77% to reach the last swing low of $15600. However, the year 2023 brought a new recovery rally in the crypto market and surged the BTC price to the $28300 mark. Considering the overall downtrend, the recent bullish rally has managed to recover 23.6% of the total loss. However, the $28300 level aligned with the 0.236 FIB level creates a strong resistance that can resume the prior downfall.

Key Points:

• The Bitcoin price may witness a minor correction to $25000 before resuming its prevailing recovery rally.
• Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index at 66% indicates bullish sentiment from market participants.
• The intraday trading volume in Bitcoin is $15.9 Billion, indicating a 43% loss.
