BTC/USD: Сan bears retest the $10,000 mark by the end of the week?
Yesterday, the bears resumed strong pressure, and the price of Bitcoin (BTC)—breaking through the strong support of $10,500—set a daily low around the level of $10,286.
Before the end of the day, buyers tried to restore the price, but buying volumes were quite small and the pair was unable to bounce above the level of $10,500.
For a short time, the Bitcoin (BTC) price might be able to hold in a narrow consolidation around the POC line ($10,277). However, one can soon expect a continuation of the fall below the psychological level of $10,000, to the support area of $9,800.
On the 4H time frame, bulls are likely to seize the initiative in the short-term scenario. It is confirmed by bullish divergence on the RSI indicator. However, one should consider it a correction after a fall but not a trend change. In this case, the endpoint of the rise may be the $10,582 mark.
On the bigger chart, the drop might not have finished yet, and bears are about to push the rate of Bitcoin (BTC) deeper to the liquidity level around $10,000. Moreover, the blue line of the MACD indicator is likely to cross the red one that suggests an ongoing drop. That is why there is a high chance of the chief crypto reaching $10,000 by the end of the current month.
Bitcoin is trading at $10,494 at press time.
