  • BTC/USD is under a slight consolidation period trading at $9,260.

Bitcoin has been trading sideways for practically the past two months, however, that hasn’t stopped investors and new users to continue buying Bitcoin. According to a recent report by Daniel Ferraro, the number of addresses holding Bitcoin reached 20 million on July 1 after a steady uptrend for the past year.

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.
