  • BTC/USD has barely moved after a sharp collapse on Tuesday.
  • The initial resistance is created by $9,600 and followed by $10,000.


BTC/USD attempted a recovery above $9,600 only to slide back to $9,550 by press time. The first digital coin has been moving in a tight range after  wild gyrations during the first two days of the week. BTC/USD has lost over 5% in the recent 24 hours; however, it is mostly unchanged since the start of the day. Bitcoin’s market value is registered at $176 billion, while its market share decreased to 65%.

The intraday chart shows that the RSI stays flat in the neutral territory. It means that the coin may stay in the current range limited by $9,400 on the downside and $9,600 on the upside.
