What is the next direction for BTC/USD?

Bitcoin remained steady last week, trading in a range above the $33,400 support. Since Bitcoin is limited to a range, it is difficult to predict in which direction it will move. The price of the cryptocurrency is hovering below the $36,000 resistance level. Doji candlesticks dominate the price bars.

Last week Coinidol.com reported that Bitcoin (BTC) price has reached the $35,000 resistance level twice while continuing its sideways movement.
