Cryptocurrencies price prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum & Ripple - American Wrap - 02 October

Bitcoin price prediction: BTC/USD range-bound with bearish bias

Bitcoin (BTC) has been range-bound with bearish bias on Wednesday. The coin slipped below $8,300 after an unsuccessful attempt to move above $8,500 barrier. In recent 24 hours, the coin has lost about 1.5% of its value amid low trading activity after several volatile days.

There are a lot of significant technical barriers clustered above the current price, which makes it harder to the bulls to pursue their agenda. Let’s have a closer look at the technical levels that may serve as resistance and support areas for the coin.
