At the moment, the price is consolidating losses and it may correct higher towards the $3,650 level. Initial resistance is near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $4,190 swing high to $3,550 swing low.

More importantly, there is a declining channel in place with resistance at $3,690 on the same chart. Should there be a break above the channel resistance and the $3,695 resistance, there could be a decent recovery.

The next resistance is near the $3,865 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $4,190 swing high to $3,550 swing low. Moreover, the 100 SMA is also positioned near the $3,870 level, which is a solid resistance.

On the downside, initial support is near the $3,540 level, below which there is a risk of a major decline below the $3,500 support. The next major support is at $3,350 where buyers are likely to emerge.

Overall, bitcoin price has moved into a bearish zone below the $3,850 level. If there is a break below the $3,540 level with a close, then there could be more losses in BTC in the near term.
