Bitcoin price

There is a strong support base formed near USD 3,600 in bitcoin price . BTC/USD is slowly moving higher and it could break the USD 3,650 resistance level. Once buyers gain momentum above USD 3,650, the price is likely to accelerate higher towards the USD 3,700 and USD 3,750 resistance levels.
If there is no upside break above the USD 3,650 level, there is a risk of a short term downside reaction. A break below the USD 3,600 support may perhaps spark bearish moves towards the USD 3,570 and USD 3,550 support levels.
