Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC/USD locked in a tight range, breakthrough is imminent – Confluence Detector

  • BTC/USD is range-m=bound with a bearish bias on Tuesday.
  • The strong support is created on approach to $9,300.

Bitcoin (BTC) has been locked in a tight range between $9,800 and $9,400 since Monday. At the time of writing, BTC/USD is changing hands below $9,700, mostly unchanged both on a day-to-day basis and since the beginning of Tuesday. On the intraday charts, BTC is supported by 1-hour SMA100 (currently at $9,600), while the resistance is created by 1-hour SMA50 on approach to $9,800. The ultimate bullish target is created by a psychological $10,000.

The short-term momentum remains bearish, with the RSI on the intraday charts reversed to the downside, which means, the coin may continue the moving inside the range.
