Bitcoin Fails to Sustain Above $9,200, Faces Stiff Resistance

The bulls could not sustain the uptrend because of stiff resistance at $9,200. Besides, the coin reached the overbought region and it dropped to $8,400 low. Yesterday, buyers pushed prices above the $9,000 resistance for the second time. 

However, after much price tussle above $9,000, the bulls were overpowered. Bitcoin will resume uptrend if the bulls overcome the $9,200 resistance. Thereafter, the momentum will pick up as price rises to the $10,000 resistance. Conversely, if the bulls fail to push above $9,200 resistance, there is the possibility of price falling. The crypto will drop to $8,400 and later decline to $8,000.

What Is the Next Direction for BTC/USD?
