Bitcoin Price Analysis: BTC/USD stalls 10K once again can it have another push later?

  • Bitcoin has moved 0.89% higher but has stalled at the 10K hurdle.
  • The volume has dropped off dramatically as the price headed toward the psychological level.

BTC/USD 4-hour chart

Bitcoin has once again stalled before the 10K mark. On the last break, the sellers stepped in at 10404.87 and the market fell pretty dramatically. So far this time around the volume is no way near as large as the last time, this is marked by the arrow on the volume indicator. 

On the chart, the circles represent the times where 10K has been tested and you can see it has been pretty stubborn and at some points, the market stopped just shy of the psychological level.

Looking at some of the other technicals, the price is still holding above the 55 and 200 moving averages. The MACD indicator's histogram has moved back into the green and the signal lines are still above the mid-line. The trend is still higher making higher highs and higher lows but the next major hurdle for the bulls is still 10404.87.

Top 3 Price Prediction: BTC, ETH and XRP retreat as Fed rate decision looms

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple remain under pressure and consolidate at the time of writing on Wednesday after falling more than 3%, 4% and 9%, respectively, as the Clarity Act failed to advance in the Senate on Tuesday.

Crypto Overview: Bitcoin falls to $75,000 as CLARITY Act fails to advance – Pi Network, Injective lead losses
Bitcoin (BTC) price trades around $75,000 on Wednesday, following a 3% decline the previous day as the US Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act to a cloture vote. The broader cryptocurrency market's risk-on sentiment eases, with over $600 million in liquidations in 24 hours, driven primarily by long-position unwinding.
CLARITY fails to pass Senate, what happens next?
The US Senate on Tuesday blocked further consideration of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, with a procedural vote falling short of the 60 required YEA. The motion to advance the bill failed 49-50, with all 49 supporting votes coming from Republicans. The setback leaves the market-structure bill stalled as Congress moves closer to its midterm election recess.
Ethereum Price Forecast: ETH continues to attract capital despite impending rate hike and Clarity Act failure
Ethereum (ETH) declined to $2,400 on Tuesday after the Clarity Act failed to progress in the Senate. Despite that and the market's near certainty of an interest rate hike at the next Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting, the top altcoin has continued to attract fresh capital. Ethereum buyers have been dominating sellers over the past few days.
Bitcoin: BTC retreats as macro headwinds grow
Bitcoin (BTC) remains under pressure, down over 4% this week and trading around $76,900 at the time of writing on Friday. Institutional demand shows signs of weakness as spot BTC Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are on track to end their three-week inflow streak, recording nearly $500 million in net outflows through Thursday.
