Bitcoin Today: 9000, maybe today?

23 เม.ย. 2018

Price
BTCUSD spent last day in a narrow diapason trading between Bullish Trend Line and 9000.0 resistance, which coincides with the 100-days EMA. 9000.0 is a strong resistance level, a solid breakthrough above this level could give the price bullish impulse to reach the next crucial resistance level 10000.0. BTCUSD will probably spend this day in a narrow range, but the ranges are closing, and BTC will have to make a decision soon. 8800.0 support level should stay strong to confirm bullish scenario of the price. Break below the 8500.0 level will send the price into a lateral correction. Due to rising volume intraday distributions (red lines on the chart) traders are willing to buy above the 8800.0 support, that is also a bullish sign.

Today forecast
Trading in 8800.0 – 9000.0 zone; High probability of the 9000.0 breakthrough.
