Bitcoin Price Trend: Potential Upside Faces Resistance at 37,972

BITSTAMP:BTCUSD   Bitcoin
Bitcoin is currently hovering near crucial support at $36,788 after breaking into an extended supply zone from $36,276 to $37,301. To sustain the upward trend, prices need a decisive move above this level and surpass the resistance at $37,972.

Until then, Bitcoin's upward potential is under threat, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) showing no change. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) also supports a subdued outlook, with its histogram bars in red, trending towards the middle line. If this continues, the AO might soon turn bearish.

Increasing selling pressure could push Bitcoin below the $36,788 support, potentially testing the rising trendline support at $35,410. In a more severe scenario, the decline might extend to the psychological level of $34,000, while the Buyers' Strength Level (BSL on the chart) remains below.

However, to confirm an extended downward trend, Bitcoin must break and close below the midline at $30,824 of the supply zone (currently acting as a trend-breaking tool) extending from $30,126 to $31,524. If this level fails to hold as support, BTC could slide towards $29,753.
