The main resistance is forming near the $57K and the 50% fib retracement level from the drop of $59,475 high to $55,492 low which is also near the $57,500 and will act as a massive hurdle. Breaking above the level could open the doors for a new increase so if BTC fails to climb higher, there will be more downsides with the first support on the downside being $56,000.
