$10450.26 Remains A Key BTC/USD Challenge
Updated
-Bitcoin (BTC/USD) sought fresh market sentiment early in today’s Asian session as the pair continued to hover around the psychologically-important 10000 figure after encountering selling pressure around the 10440.91 area during yesterday’s Asian session. Traders drove BTC/USD lower to the 9920.07 area during yesterday’s North American session, and traders are waiting to see if the pair will again test recent lows. The pair has recently moved above and below its 50-hour simple moving average and 100-hour simple moving average. The 10395.81 area represents the 23.6% retracement of the recent depreciating range from 12086 to 9873.71, and the 10490.35 area represents the 23.6% retracement of the depreciating range from 12486.61 to 9873.71. Failure at or below these levels suggests a short-term downward bias is now prevailing. Technical resistance emerged after traders were unable to push the pair back above the 10826.66 area in a pullback higher last week, a level that represents the 61.8% retracement of the recent appreciation from 8940.14 to 13878.67. BTC/USD later encountered additional technical resistance just below the 10540.49 area in a pullback lower, driving the pair to its weakest print since late July. Stops were recently elected below the 11120, 11004.10, 10961.41, 10647.72, 10546.15, and 10450.26 areas during the depreciation from recent multi-week highs. BTC/USD is now at risk of depreciating further and testing levels including 9816.32, 9772.95, 9681.42, 9532.39, and 9301.26 levels.
-Traders note that the recent high of 12486.61 represented a test of the 12496.68 area, an upside price objective related to buying pressure that emerged around the 8055.91 area earlier this year.
