Should more volume comes at the weekend Bitcoin declined nearly 2% on Friday morning to see its value against the US dollar inch closer to $9,200., then BTC/USD may have failed to rally so far, but with only 19% of supply traded, prices could be on their way up The top cryptocurrency in the past 24 hours has seen support above $9,600 turn into strong overhead barrier as a downturn gave bears tailwind to take prices lower. However, after weathering the challenge, BTC/USD is now looking at a potential rebound to take its value against the US dollar closer to $10k once again. In Friday’s morning trades, BTC/USD broke below support at $9.4k to slip below $9,300 as prices hit lows of $9,229. As of the time of writing, the premier crypto asset trades at $9,330 with losses cut to -1.36%. On the 4-hour chart, Bitcoin’s price has cut under the 100 and 50 SMA at $9,394 and $9,415. If prices fall under $9.2k in later trades, sellers could attempt to breach the all-important $9k level in weekend trading. Currently, buyers have been holding $9,300 to avoid handing momentum to the bears. For buyers, a key indicator on shorter timeframes has formed with the appearance of an inverse head and shoulders pattern, signalling a return to bullish momentum for the cryptocurrency. Short term, Bitcoin buyers must stop further rot at current price levels to retain their advantage to the upside. Screenshot of BTC/USD price movement (daily chart). Source. Yahoo Finance On the upside, immediate overhead barrier at $9,426, as indicated by the Fibonacci 23.6% on weekly charts, should potentially be cleared with ease. Thereafter, bulls will aim for $9,619, as highlighted by both the SMA 100 and Fibonacci 161.8% on the 4-hour and daily charts respectively. If sellers re-enter the market late in the session, bulls will rely on support at $9,233, and below it, $9,137.
