Bitcoin Bounces Above $13,800 and $14,000 Resistances but Fails to Sustain Uptrend

Bitcoin bulls have continued to sustain the current uptrend as buyers pushed above the $14,000 resistance. Yesterday, the king coin rebounded twice above the $13,600 high as price broke the resistance at $13,800 and $14,000.

Unfortunately, the upward move was short-lived. The bullish momentum broke the resistance levels but the selling pressure was overwhelming as the coin fell back to the range-bound zone. Incidentally, Bitcoin's upward move has been hampered by these resistance levels. BTC is trading at $13,635 at the time of writing. 

Presently, the price is retracing after the recent resistance at $14,000. The upward move will resume if price retraces and finds support above $13,600. In the meantime, the sideways move between $13,060 and $13,800 has begun. On the upside, if buyers succeed in breaking the upper price range and the momentum is sustained, BTC will rally above $14,000. Conversely, the king coin will trend lower, if the $13,060 is breached.
