Bitcoin Hovers above $9.2k, Falling After an Important Rejection

Bitcoin has continued to consolidate between $9,000 and $9,200 support. The king coin has been battling with rejection at $9,300 and $9,400 resistance.

In the last 48 hours, buyers pushed the price above $9,300 twice but were resisted. Despite the rejection, BTC is still hovering above $9,200 support. The bottom line is that if the bulls clear the $9,300 and $9,400 resistance, BTC will resume a fresh uptrend to retest the $10,000 overhead resistance. 

Conversely, if the bulls fail to achieve this feat, Bitcoin will risk a possible decline. In retrospect, since May 7, Bitcoin has failed to break the $10,000 overhead resistance after several retests and pullbacks. Today, after the rejection, price is retracing to the $9,200 support. Analysts believe that if the $9,000 and $9,200 support remain intact, Bitcoin will continue up trending. That is, the upward movement will continue to retest the $10,000 overhead resistance. On the other hand, if the $9,000 and $9,200 becomes resistance levels, Bitcoin will eventually drop.
