The price reached a high of $85,238 before falling to $83,161. It is currently near $83,787, down about $600, or 0.71%, on the day.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The technical question is whether buyers can defend the breakout from earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Buyers defend the breakout area<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">\n<p dir=\"auto\">On Tuesday, Bitcoin moved above a swing area between $81,517 and $82,833 and extended its gains to about $87,335. That upside momentum faded, and the price has since rotated back toward the area it broke through.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Yesterday and again today, buyers stepped in near the top of that zone. Today\u2019s low of $83,161 remained above $82,833.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Why the retest matters<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">A retest after a breakout gives traders a chance to see whether a former ceiling can become a floor. Buyers who missed the initial move may look to enter near the broken resistance, while traders who bought the breakout want to see that level hold.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">As long as Bitcoin stays above $82,833, buyers can argue that the pullback is a test of support. A move back above today\u2019s high at $85,238 would give that argument more weight and bring the high near $87,335 back into view.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The levels that shift control to sellers<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">If Bitcoin breaks below $82,833 and then moves through the lower end of the swing area at $81,517, the picture changes. Traders who bought the breakout would be holding a losing position, and some may look to exit. That could add to the selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">The next targets would be the 100- and 200-hour moving averages, between $79,926 and $79,365. A break below both moving averages would shift the bias further in favor of the sellers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">For now, buyers have held support, but they have not regained the upside momentum. The swing area is the barometer: stay above it and buyers remain in the game; break below it and the failed breakout becomes the bigger story.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">In the video above, I review the Bitcoin technicals and outline the levels that will help determine which side takes control next.<\/p>\n<p>                            This article was written by Greg Michalowski at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin is trading modestly lower after an earlier attempt to move higher lost momentum.
