The critical resistance is seen on approach to $10,000.

Tanya Abrosimova Independent Analyst

Bitcoin (BTC) has been range-bound with bearish bias after Monday sell-off from the upper boundary of the recent consolidation channel. The first digital asset dropped to $10,191 during Asian hours but managed to recover above $10,200 ahead of European opening. At the time of writing BTC/USD is changing hands at $10,265. Notably, the coin’s market share settled at 69.7%.

There are a few technical levels both above and below the current price, which means that Bitcoin might stay range-bound in the near-term. A neutral position of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the intraday charts supports this scenario.
