- Bitcoin has recovered slightly, still in the range $9,000-$10,000 range.
- A critical resistance of $10,000 is still to be taken out.
Bitcoin (BTC) has recovered from recent lows and settled above $9,700 handle. At the time of writing, BTC/USD is changing hands at $9,767, gaining nearly 3% in recent 24 hours amid growing upside momentum.
Twitter account "Whale Alert," registered another spike of crypto whales activity. The big accounts got to life and moved around about $3 billion in BTC in six hours.
Bitcoin's technical picture
From the intraday perspective, the initial support awaits BTC/USD on approach to $9,550. This area is strengthened by a confluence of SMA100 (Simple Moving Average) and SMA50 on 1-hour chart. A sustainable move below this handle will allow for an extended sell-off with the next focus on $9,500 (the lower line of 1-hour Bollinger Band) and psychological $9,000.
On the upside, we will need to see a sustainable move above $9,800 with the intraday high located just above this handle. Once above, the price of the first digital coin will proceed to critical $10,000 strengthened by SMA100 4-hour.
