Bitcoin has been trading sideways for practically the past two months, however, that hasn’t stopped investors and new users to continue buying Bitcoin.

Even with the significant price surge on July 6, Bitcoin remains quite flat at $9,262 and is still facing the crucial $10,000 resistance level. Right now, Bitcoin only cares about two levels, $9,000 as support, and $10,000 as the resistance. Buyers and sellers have managed to push Bitcoin above $10K before and below $9K but never with enough continuation.

Clearly, the 4-hour chart is in favor of the bulls and in an uptrend. The current consolidation is definitely healthy and buyers are now looking for another leg up above $9,375.
