Bitcoin Technical Analysis January 27th

Bitcoin (BTC) has recovered to $38,919 since falling below this zone on Jan. 21. The price has since retreated somewhat but may have completed a short-term corrective structure.

Recovery is in progress

Bitcoin has recovered and is rising after hitting a local low of $32,917 on Jan. 24. The upward move continued until Bitcoin hit a high of $38,919 on Jan. 26. This was short-lived as BTC created a long upper wick and fell on the same day.

It failed to move above the $38,200 resistance, which is both the 0.5 Fib retracement level and the horizontal resistance area.

Bitcoin needs to retrace this zone to create a short-term bullish structure.
