The first major resistance is near the $48,250 level. It is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $50,788 swing high to $45,759 low. A proper break above the $48,250 resistance could open the doors for more upsides. The next key resistance is near the $50,000 level, above which the price may possibly gain momentum.

More Losses In BTC?

If bitcoin fails to clear the $48,250 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. An immediate support on the downside is near the $46,500 level.
