Bitcoin Under Pressure, Faces Rejection Twice at $9,800 Resistance

Notwithstanding the recent breakdown, the upside range for the Bitcoin (BTC) price is still on hold as bulls continue to retest the $10,000 overhead resistance.

Bitcoin Price Long-Term Prediction: Bullish

The upside range is between $9,300 and $9,800 where buyers fluctuate to retest the overhead resistance. The bulls have retested the overhead resistance but were resisted at $9,800. Price is now fluctuating below the initial resistance. Bitcoin will rally above $10.500 if buyers push the price above $9,800 resistance. Possibly, a breakout below the resistance will catapult price through the overhead resistance.

At the same time, the momentum is sustained. Conversely, if the bulls fail to breach the resistance, the market will fall to the support above $9,400. However, if the support cracks the downtrend will resume. Undoubtedly, buyers have been consistent since May as they sustain hold above the upside range.

Key Resistance Zones: $10,000, $11,000, $12,000

Key Support Zones: $7, 000, $6, 000, $5,000
