However, there is a key bearish trend line with resistance at $7300 on the hourly chart, which is acting as a barrier for more gains. The 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the last drop from the $7572 high to $6918 low is also at $7249, acting as a resistance.

Moreover, the 100 hourly simple moving average is positioned at $7300 to prevent further gains. This means the $7250-7300 region is a major resistance zone for buyers. Should there be a break above the $7300 level, the price might continue to gain momentum.

The next major hurdle is above $7400 and the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level of the last drop from the $7572 high to $6918 low. If buyers remain in control and sentiment is intact, bitcoin can even retest $7500 in the near term.

On the other hand, if the price fails to move above the $7300 resistance, there can be a downside reaction back towards the $7000 handle. Therefore, it depends on whether BTC/USD is able to break the $7300 resistance or not.
