Bitcoin’s previous price action from Oct. 26 to Nov. 8, 2019, suggests that bulls will need to flip $9.1K from resistance to support in order to see a continuation to $9.2 to $9.5K.
On Jan. 18, Cointelegraph contributor Michaël van de Poppe suggested that if Bitcoin price pushed above $9,000, “ The next resistance levels [to target] are $9,400 and $10,000.”
Van de Poppe also cautioned that “Bitcoin started to rally since $6,400, so the upwards continuation will be stopped at some point to consolidate.”
In the daily timeframe, Bitcoin price action remains bullish with the relative strength index (RSI) and moving average convergence divergence (MACD) both still in bullish zones.
