BTC/USD 4-hour chart: BTC recovers to $58,000

On the 4-hour chart, we can see Bitcoin price currently retracing, with the $58,000 resistance potentially reversing it lower later today.

Bitcoin price has seen bearish momentum return over the last weeks after a new all-time high was set at $68,550 on the 9th of November. Strong drop lower followed a day later, reaching $63,000 previous resistance.

After a several-day consolidation and a slight push higher to $66,000, another strong drop lower followed. BTC/USD reached the $59,000 mark in less than a day, forming a consolidation around $60,000 from there.

Recovery did not follow as bearish momentum returned yesterday. This time, the Bitcoin price action moved to $56,000, meaning that another strong lower low was set. Since then, recovery can be seen, with the $58,000-59,000 area likely offering resistance.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Conclusion 

Bitcoin price analysis is bearish today as we expect the current recovery not to last long as the $58,000 resistance is close by. Therefore, BTC/USD should continue lower over the next 24 hours as the overall market structure is still very bearish.
