Bitcoin Price Analysis: Sellers on revenge mission as BTC/USD touches $9,250 – Confluence Detector

Bitcoin buyers have been reduced to defenders after another rejection from $10,000. Initially, they defended the support between $9,500 and $9,600 but the strong arm of the bears caught up with them, resulting in losses towards $9,000. The region at $9,250 is now being defended as the key support area. On the upside, recovery has been capped under $9,500. There was a break above $9,500 but buyers lost steam at $9,567 during the Asian session.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $9,466, which is a 0.46% loss from the opening value at $9,512. BTC/USD bulls are not giving up the fight to $10,000 in spite of the stronger bearish grip. The main goal is to sustain gains above $9,500 and step above the resistance at $9,600. This way, other buyers watching from the sidelines can join the market and aid in pushing the price to $10,000.

From a technical perspective, it is true to say that bulls are relatively in control. Although, we cannot forget the fact that they lack the momentum to sustain the gains. For example, the RSI is horizontal at 60 to show that there is enough energy to hold Bitcoin above $9,520 if not $9,400. Moreover, the MACD is comfortable seating in the positive region, further emphasizing the influence bulls have on the price.
