Bitcoin price analysis
Bitcoin price has also been in consolidation for while just like gold. Its ability to hold above $9,000 is an important factor to the expected rally above $10,000.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $9,400. The price action on Wednesday closed in on $9,500 but failed to clear the resistance at this level. For now, buyers are focused on establishing support above $9,400 and pushing the price towards $10,000.

Gains above $9,600 could eventually place BTC in the trajectory to the coveted $10,000.
On the downside, support is expected at the ascending trendline, $9,300, $9,200, as well as $9,000. For now, the general trend favors upward price action as consolidation lingers.
