Bitcoin price remained well-bid above the <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/btc/bitcoin-price-at-make-or-break-moment-38500/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">$38,500 support zone</a>. BTC formed a base and recently started a consolidation phase above the $39,000 level. 
The price was able to recover above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $42,261 swing high to the $38,518 low. The bulls seem to be active above the $39,200 and $39,350 levels. Bitcoin is now trading just above $40,000 and the 100 hourly Simple moving average. 
However, there are many hurdles near $40,400. Immediate resistance is near the $40,250 level. There is also a <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/btc/bitcoin-price-faces-crucial-test-38500/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">crucial bearish trend line</a> forming with resistance near $40,250 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. 
The next key resistance could be $40,380 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $42,261 swing high to the $38,518 low, above which the price could rise and test $40,850. A clear move above the $40,850 resistance could send the price toward the $41,250 resistance.
