Bitcoin Moves up Despite Uncertainties of Low Volatility

Bitcoin remains in the uptrend zone despite its recent fall. In the last 48 hours, it dropped again to $8,200 low and moved up.

The recent fall was caused by low volatility as a result of the just concluded Bitcoin halving. It is worth remembering that in early March at $4607 low, Bitcoin rose to $10,045 because of the ecstasy of the upcoming Bitcoin halving. BTC was characterized by high volatility. 

Today, the volatility has dropped sharply after the Bitcoin halving. Meanwhile, in the last three days, buyers have been struggling to break above the $9,100 resistance. At first, the bulls were repelled after reaching a high of $9,142. Today, buyers are set to retest the resistance level. The bottom line is that if buyers are successful above the resistance, a retest of $9,500 resistance and subsequent rise is likely. However, if buyers find penetration difficult at the resistance, a possible downtrend is unavoidable..
