Bitcoin (BTC/USD) glided lower in today’s North American session as the pair fell to the 36839.23 area after trading as high as the 37550 area during the European session, stopping short of testing the 61.8% retracement of the recent depreciating range from 40127.66 to 33850.03. Some technical support arose around the 50-bar 4-hourly simple moving average, and this lifted BTC/USD to intraday highs. Traders observe that BTC/USD traded at a recent low around the 33850.03 level this past weekend, a test of the 38.2% retracement of the appreciating range from 27678 to 37823 and the 61.8% retracement of the appreciating range from 30100 to 40127.66. Another range that traders are carefully monitoring is a broader depreciating range from 41452.12 to 30100, with the 34436.51 and 32779.10 levels representing downside retracement levels. Stops were elected below a variety of downside retracement levels during the recent acute pullback, including the 38159.91, 37249.25, 36226.47, 35900.79, 35784.73, 35454.75, 32988.07, 32663.14, 32135.98, 31948.12, and 31414.00 levels.
