In the past two days, bitcoin price made a couple of attempts to gain strength above USD 46,500, but it failed. BTC is now consolidating gains below the USD 46,000 zone. The major support is near USD 45,000, below which there is a risk of a larger downside correction.
On the upside, the first key resistance is near the USD 46,500 level. A close above USD 46,500 may possibly increase the chances of a stronger rally.
