Around this time last week, the situation was looking increasingly dire for Bitcoin (BTC) and murmurs of a drop to $6,000 and even $3,000 began to circulate amongst traders. Even today there are still those that consider this a real possibility and perhaps it is. For the moment, Bitcoin appears to have stabilized and traders are hopeful that a strong move to $8,500 will occur over the coming days.
BTCUSD Chart By TradingView
Bitcoin was able to see a decent bounce from $7750 all the way up to $8500, a 10% increase over 5 days, however, the bulls have been unable to see any kind of continuation afterward.
The daily chart is technically in an uptrend, a really weak one. The RSI is still overextended, currently at 28 points and the EMA’s are still far above the current price of $8162. The main mission for the bulls right now is to hold a higher low compared to $7710 and seek continuation.
