The channel support is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $13,139 swing low to $14,081 high. On the upside, the $13,800 level is an initial hurdle for the bulls. The main resistance is now forming near the $14,000 level.

A successful daily close above the $14,000 resistance level might open the doors for more upsides. The next stop for the bulls could be $14,400 or even $14,650.

Downsides Could Be Limited in BTC

If bitcoin fails to clear regain strength above the $13,800 resistance, it could correct lower. An initial support is near the channel trend line zone and the $13,600 level.

The next major support is near the $13,500 level. A downside break below the $13,600 and $13,500 support levels could push the price towards the $13,000 support in the near term.
