BTC muted as ETH continued its surge and we saw the coin hitting above $3500. BTC got stuck between the $56,000 resistance and $60,000 as we see further in our latest bitcoin news today.

BTC is approaching a new break with the major hurdle near $60,000 and the price is trading well below the $58,000 and the 100 simple moving average. There’s also a contracting triangle forming with the resistance near $60,000 on the 4-hour charts of the pair with it likely to accelerate higher once it clears the $60K resistance in the near term.

Over the past week, BTC’s price settled above the key $55,000 pivot level against the US dollar and the pair formed a new base above $55,000 and started a new increase. It climbed above $56,000 resistance and settled above the 100 simple moving average. However, the upwards move was limited considering the recent surge in ETH above $3500. BTC muted after clearing the $58,000 resistance. It shortly formed a new high near $59,566 before the downside correction. It is now trading below this level with a break below the 23.6% fib retracement level from the upwards move at $56,859 low to $59,566 high. On the downside, there’s major support forming near the $58,000 zone with the 23.6% fib retracement level from the upwards move at the swing low to the $59,566 high also nearing the $58,200 zone.

On the upside, the initial resistance is near the $59,500 level and the main hurdle is near the $60K level with another major contracting triangle forming with the resistance near $60K on the 4-hour charts of the pair. Another close above the $59,500 and the $60,000 resistance could open the doors for a new rally in the next few sessions. If BTC falls above this level, there’s a risk of a new downside correction with the first major support nearing the $58,200 level and the triangle trend line zone. The next support is near the $57,200 level with more losses calling for a new drop towards the $55,500 support level.

The 4-hour MACD for the pair is gaining momentum in the bullish zone with the 4-hour RSI being well above the 50 level.
