Bitcoin Short-term Support and Resistance Key Levels
As discussed above, Bitcoin is facing $9200 – $9300 as the first significant resistance level, as of writing these lines. In case Bitcoin fails here, then the first support would be the same ascending trend-line, which now lies around $9000.
This is followed by support levels at $8800, $8650, $8520, and $8400. Further down lies $8000 – $8200, the strong buy area, which also includes the three significant moving average lines – 50, 100 and 200 days.
From above, in case of a break-up, then the next level of resistance would be $9500, along with the Fib retracement level of 61.8%, $9600, and $9800.
The Technicals and Trading Volume
As discussed here on our previous price analysis, the RSI also encountered strong support at the 50 level. The support held firmly; however, not a lot had changed, telling by the momentum indicator.
Regarding the trading volume, after it was declining for the two weeks of the $10,000 tryouts, Thursday’s dump recorded the highest daily volume candle in 7 days. Not a bullish sign for Bitcoin, but too early to state.
