Bitcoin price

After a close above USD 57,000, bitcoin price was able to clear the USD 58,000 level. BTC even broke the USD 58,500 resistance and is currently consolidating below USD 58,000. If there is a fresh move above USD 58,500, the price could rise towards the USD 60,000 level. The next major resistance is near the USD 61,200 level.

On the downside, an initial support is near the 57,000 level. The next major support is now forming near the USD 56,500 level, below which the price might trim gains further.
