The main hurdle sits at $43,800. A close above the $43,800 resistance could start a decent move toward the $44,500 level. The next key resistance could be near $45,000, above which BTC could rise toward the $46,200 level. 
<h2 id="another-decline-in-btc">Another Decline In BTC?</h2> 
If Bitcoin fails to rise above the $43,200 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Immediate support on the downside is near the $42,250 level and the trend line. 
The next major support is near $41,620. If there is a move below $41,620, there is a risk of more losses. In the stated case, the price could drop toward the $40,500 support in the near term.
