Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC/USD may retest $10,000 during US hours – Confluence Detector

Bitcoin's recovery is gaining traction on Thursday.
The psychological target of $10,00 is within reach.

Tanya Abrosimova Independent Analyst

Bitcoin price has gained over 6% on a day-to-day basis and 4% since the start of Thursday. The first digital coin hit the intraday high of $9,944 and retreated t0 $9,720 by the time of writing. The further recovery is capped psychological $10,000, which is still a hard nut to crack for Bitcoin bulls. This barrier prevents BTC from moving towards $10 500. Once it is cleared, the recovery may start snowballing.

While the short-term momentum remains bullish, the RSI on the intraday charts has shown signs of reversal, which means, the coin may stay range-bound in the nearest future.
