On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $41,250 level. The first major resistance is forming near $41,800 and the trend line. A close above the $41,800 resistance might start a steady increase. The next key resistance could be near $42,250, above which BTC could rise toward the $42,800 level. A clear move above the $42,800 level could set the pace for a test of $43,500. 
<h2 id="more-losses-in-btc">More Losses In BTC?</h2> 
If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $41,800 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Immediate support on the downside is near the $40,600 level or the last swing low. 
The next major support is near $40,000. It is close to the 1.236 Fib extension level of the upward move from the $40,605 swing low to the $43,421 high, below which the price might test the $39,500 zone. If there is a move below $39,500, there is a risk of more losses. In the stated case, the price could drop toward the $38,400 support in the near term.

Hourly MACD – The MACD is now gaining pace in the bearish zone. 
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for BTC/USD is now below the 20 level.
