Analyst Josh Rager says the king of crypto could slide to $9,000 in the short term if the bulls don’t manage to stage a comeback.
“Bitcoin price breaks through current support area on the daily and through the 20MA.
If buyers don’t step in the next couple days, we’ll see Bitcoin retest the previous support in the low $9,000’s A break from there likely leads to $8,000.”
FXStreet’s Rajarshi Mitra says BTC is now facing its first level of resistance at $10,280 and appears to have support at $10,080.
“There are two resistance levels on the upside at $10,280 and $10,450.
On the downside, healthy support level lies at $10,080, which has the SMA 5, SMA 10, 1-day pivot point support 1, 15-min Bollinger band middle curve, 1-week Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level.”
