BTC started a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/btc\/bitcoin-price-explodes-higher-70k\/\" target=\"_blank\">fresh increase<\/a> and was able to surpass the $68,000 resistance zone.<\/p>\n<p>The price even rallied above the $68,800 resistance. Finally, the bears appeared near $70,000. A high was formed at $70,000, and the price recently corrected some gains. There was a move below the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $62,500 swing low to the $70,000 high.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin is now trading above $67,000 and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/analysis\/btc\/bitcoin-price-attempts-comeback-67200\/\" target=\"_blank\">100 hourly simple moving average<\/a>. If the price remains stable above $67,000, it could attempt a fresh increase. Immediate resistance is near the $68,000 level. There is also a new bearish trend line forming with resistance at $68,000 on the hourly chart of the BTC\/USD pair.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_883893\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-883893\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Bitcoin_cc9b73.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Bitcoin_cc9b73.png?resize=1024%2C512\" alt=\"Bitcoin Price \" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-883893\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/BTCUSD\/\" target=\"_blank\">BTCUSD on TradingView.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first key resistance is near the $68,250 level. A close above the $68,250 resistance might send the price further higher. In the stated case, the price could rise and test the $69,500 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $70,000 level. The next barrier for the bulls could be $70,500 and $71,200.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ftoc-heading-2\">Downside Continuation In BTC?<\/h2>\n<p>If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $68,000 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Immediate support is near the $67,000 level.

Any more losses might send the price toward the $65,000 support in the near term.
