Bitcoin Could Soon Test $10,000
Recently, there was a downside correction in bitcoin from the $9,600 area against the US Dollar. BTC traded below the $9,400 and $9,300 levels, before the bulls took a stand above $9,000.
A swing low was formed near $9,079 and the price started a fresh increase above the $9,200 resistance area. The bulls gained pace and pushed the price above the 100 hourly simple moving average and the $9,500 resistance area.
Finally, there was a break above the $9,600 resistance area and the price traded to a new 2020 high at $9,764. Bitcoin is currently correcting lower below the $9,700 level.
It traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $9,076 low to $9,764 high. However, the previous resistance near the $9,500 and $9,520 levels is acting as a strong support area.
More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $9,460 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. On the upside, there are short term hurdles near the $9,700 and $9,750 levels.
A successful break above the $9,750 level is likely to set the pace for a larger upward move. The main target could be $10,000, followed by $10,200.
Bulls Are In Control
On the downside, there are many key supports for bitcoin bulls near the $9,500 area. The next key support is seen near the $9,420 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rally from the $9,076 low to $9,764 high.
Any further losses may perhaps lead the price towards the $9,340 level and the 100 hourly SMA, where the bulls are likely to take a stand.
