BTC/USD Long-term Trend: Ranging (Daily Chart)
Key levels:
Resistance Levels: $9,600, $9,800, $10,000
Support Levels: $7,500, $7,300, $7,100
After forming a short term top, BTC/USD price dived below $9,000 and $8,800. The Bitcoin price is currently consolidating around $8,500, with a few bearish signals. However, the recent correction to the upward failed near the $8,758 level. It seems like Bitcoin bulls are struggling to gain momentum above the $8,800 level. There is also a key declining channel forming with resistance near $8,660 on the daily chart.
Moreover, on the downside, the $8,300 and $8,250 levels are initial supports. If the bulls fail to defend the recent low of $8,426, there is a risk of a sharp decline. The next key supports on the downside are near the $8,000 and $7,800 levels, where the bulls are likely to take a strong stand. But if the bulls fail to take a strong stand within this level, then, BTC/USD may drop further to the critical supports of $7,500, $7,300 and $7,000 respectively.
Nevertheless, if there is a clear break above the 9-day moving average, the Bitcoin price could test the $9,200 resistance level. If the bulls manage to gain strength above $9,200, there are chances of a decent recovery towards the $9,400 resistance area. The key breakout zone is near the $9,600, $9,800 and $10,000 resistance levels. Meanwhile, the MACD for BTC/USD is about to move into the bearish zone.
Therefore, the upsides may remain capped unless there is a solid recovery above the $9,200 and $9,300 levels.
BTC/USD Medium – Term Trend: Ranging (4H Chart)
At the opening of the market today, the Bitcoin price first went up but has dropped slightly within 24 hours, bringing its price from $8,750 to reach around $8,588. Should the price continue to drop further and move below the channel, it could reach the nearest supports at $8,300, $8,100 and $7,900.
Moreover, if the bulls push the coin above the 9-day and 21-day moving averages, the price of Bitcoin may likely reach the potential resistance levels of $8,900, $9,100 and $9,300. At the moment, the market is indecisive as the RSI (14) indicator moves below the 40-level.
