Key Levels to Watch
– Support/Resistance:
Continue to the stated above, Bitcoin is still in the supply-demand confluence area of $10,200 – $10,400. This area also contains the two major moving average lines: The 50-days and the 100-days.
Looking on the 4-hour chart, we can see a triangle forming – resistance at $10,400, support at $10,200. This also tells about the tightening boundaries of where the price is currently trading at.
In case of a bullish breakout of the above-mentioned moving average lines (~$10,480), we can expect the next immediate target to be $10,600. Further above is $10,800 and the $11,000 region. The last is the last high from the daily chart. If Bitcoin plans on the bullish side, $11,000 might become support rather than resistance.
From the bearish side, a breakdown of $10,200 will send Bitcoin to retest $10,000 again. Further below is $9,880 and $9600 before the significant supporting trend-line at $9400.
Another thing to watch for is a bearish cross of the 50-days MA (purple on the daily chart) below the 100-days MA. The two lines almost correspond; however, they are very close to each other. The next days will decide whether a cross-over will take place or not.
