BTC/USD Holds New Support

Following the latest price drop, Bitcoin (available on Coinbase) is now holding down a support at $7,300. However, the currency is now on another short-term bullish run looking to retest the $7,500 level once again. Should it manage to break above that, the next move could see BTC/USD approach $7,800 and then $8,000 heading into next week.

On the downside, a close around $7,300 may indicate that further declines are on the horizon. That would take BTC/USD further down toward the next critical point of $7,000.
